Object Name:

Manuscript

Scope & Content:

A typed 9-page history of LST-449; created by an unknown author (crewmember Loshek?). It appears to be a re-typed copy of the ship's original official World War II history compiled on a computer rather than a typewriter. Each paragraph is number sequentially, though whether this is for editing purposes or to denote the number of "major" events in the ship's timeline is unknown.
