Native Outrigger Sailboats and Fishermen in Pacific Harbor Scene

Traditional outrigger sailboats and local fishermen ply a calm harbor, likely photographed in the Philippines during the 312th Bomb Group's Pacific campaign. Images like this, taken by American servicemen, document the indigenous maritime life and local communities encountered near Allied airbases in the Southwest Pacific during WWII. Project: 218275
