Chinese Junks Under Sail in Harbor, Likely Hong Kong, Vietnam War-Era Liberty Port
Traditional Chinese junks sail a hazy harbor, likely Hong Kong, a favored liberty port for US Navy sailors during rest-and-relaxation breaks between Vietnam combat deployments. Photographs like this one, taken by crewmembers of USS Ticonderoga while ashore, capture the cultural encounters that punctuated long wartime cruises in the Pacific. Project: 218112
