A hillside port town crowds the shore beneath a hilltop citadel in this 1930s photograph from a U.S. Navy sailor's personal album chronicling pre-WWII service with the Asiatic Fleet on the 'China Station.' Though catalogued among China and Pacific images, the Mediterranean architecture suggests this view was captured during a port call along the fleet's transit route through European or Mediterranean waters, a common leg of the long voyage to Far East duty stations in the interwar period.
