I have compiled a short crew list based on my father's photographs while assigned to the M.S. Texas Sun from 1945 to 1946. As time permits I will do further research and add more names to this list. Some of these names link to a personal history page.

If you know of anyone who also served on the M.S. Texas Sun during the years of 1945 and 1946 please let me know and I will be happy to include their names.
