Coastal Headland Viewed from Shipboard, Pre-WWII China/Pacific Cruise

A coastal headland viewed from the deck of a U.S. Navy vessel, photographed during a pre-World War II cruise along the China coast or elsewhere in the Pacific. Photographs like this one, taken by sailors of the era's 'China Station' fleet, document the routine seascapes and ports of call experienced during interwar naval deployments to Asia. Project: 218183
