Captioned 'Fun Ashore at Culebra,' this photograph shows U.S. Navy sailors enjoying shore liberty with borrowed horses and local children near a rustic building on Culebra, an island east of Puerto Rico used by the Atlantic Fleet as an anchorage in the early 1900s. Such candid images offer a rare, informal window into sailors' recreation and their encounters with island residents during fleet deployments of the era. Project: 218595
