Outrigger Boats at a Coastal Village Harbor, Pacific Theater, World War II Era

Traditional outrigger boats rest in the shallows of a coastal village, their bamboo booms and a thatched stilt hut reflecting the maritime culture of Philippine coastal communities. Photographs of everyday scenes like this were often taken by American servicemen during the Pacific campaign and subsequent occupation duty. Project: 218464
