A portion of Norm's collection of memorabilia from the ship.  The collection includes valve wheels, gauges, identification plates, photographs & other items.  The small white plate marked "210" was located outside the stateroom Norm occupied when he was onboard the LA.

Many of these items were obtained by Norm when the ship was being scrapped in San Pedro.
