A sailor's close-up color slide of chain and tackle-block rigging aboard USS Ticonderoga (CVA-14/CVS-14), an Essex-class aircraft carrier that conducted repeated Vietnam War deployments to Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin. Everyday shipboard equipment like boat davits and cargo booms, though rarely the subject of official photography, were often captured by crew members documenting daily life at sea aboard the carrier.
