Handwritten 'Sailors Ashore at Culebra, U.S.W.I.,' this photograph documents a landing party of U.S. Navy sailors mustered on the beach of Culebra, an island east of Puerto Rico used by the Atlantic Fleet in the early 1900s as an anchorage and training ground for gunnery and landing exercises. Such images, preserved in a sailor's personal album, capture the everyday routine of fleet life in the years following the Spanish-American War. Project: 218595
