This album page from the USS Columbia (C-12) collection pairs two scenes from a port visit to Kingston, Jamaica in the early 1900s: an English shore battery firing a ceremonial salute to the American cruiser, and a candid portrait of 'Billy,' the ship's pet goat, with a young sailor on deck. Together they illustrate both the formal diplomatic customs and the everyday camaraderie of life aboard an American warship during the Old Navy era. Project: 218600
