The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 2
Hand-captioned album photographs follow USS Columbia through gunnery drill off Menemsha Bight, a Marine guard in campaign dress, and liberty ashore at Pensacola, Panama City, St. Thomas, and Kingston. Billy the ship's goat, a photo-booth portrait strip, and a saluting shore battery bring the everyday life of an Old Navy cruiser into view.
