U.S. Navy Sailor with Ship's Mascot Puppy Aboard Vessel - Pre-WWII China Station Collection
A U.S. Navy sailor relaxes on deck with the ship's mascot puppy, photographed sometime in the 1930s while serving with the Asiatic Fleet on China Station. Small dogs like this one were common shipboard companions, offering crews a touch of home comfort during long deployments to the Far East in the years before World War II. Project: 218183
