Note

Phylipp Dilloway was born in Bronx, New York on October 29th, 1926. When he graduated from Evanders Childs High School in the summer of 1944, Dilloway knew that he was most likely going to be selected to go to war. He choose to attend the New York State Maritime Academy (now SUNY Maritime), a college he was already familiar with from his youth, as a way to participate in the war and stay out of the army. This decision lead him to a career as a mariner, including time spent in the Naval Reserves and Korea. Dilloway eventually moved on to become an industrial engineer at a consultant firm, and a professor at the University of Bridgeport, but his time at the New York State Maritime Academy always stuck with him. In this interview Dilloway speaks of his time at the New York State Maritime Academy, the people he knew there, and his career as a mariner.
