The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 5
Pages from an early 1900s sailor's album follow the protected cruiser USS Columbia from fleet maneuvers off Culebra, Puerto Rico to a state funeral procession in Mexico and a rooftop view of Chapultepec Castle. Portraits of shipmates and bandsmen sit beside images of USS Hartford, Texas, and Kearsarge, capturing the New Navy at work and at ease.
