A faded, light-damaged photograph from a 1930s album documenting U.S. Navy service on the China Station, showing an American sailor and a local boatman aboard a small harbor craft. Such interactions were common as U.S. Navy vessels relied on local watermen for provisioning, trade, and transport while anchored off Chinese ports during the interwar period. Project: 218181
