The Alleged Misadventures of the Willie Dee

“This one time, in the United States, we may or may not have had a notoriously clumsy ship.” The very clumsy ship in question in this episode of Historically Accurate was the USS William Porter, also known as the Willie Dee, which blew a boiler tube, lost a man to an enormous wave, and accidentally launched a torpedo at Franklin D. Roosevelt… all on the same day. Join host Dawn-Michelle and her guest Keith Bowerman, friend and first Patreon supporter, as they investigate the true adventures of the Willie Dee -- and the many myths that follow this accident-prone boat. All of this leads Dawn-Michelle and Keith to explore the real meaning of history, and how to use deduction and thorough research to separate myth from fact. Quotes: “I’ve always heard that history is best described as a point of view.” (7:49-7:56) “This one time, in the United States, we may or may not have had a notoriously clumsy ship” (9:55-10:04) Sources: Ingram, B.D.
