This album page documents a sailor's visit ashore at Pensacola, Florida, home to a major U.S. naval station in the early twentieth century. The upper photograph looks down the commercial thoroughfare of South Palafox Street, its cast-iron balconies and streetcar tracks typical of a thriving Gulf Coast port city of the period. The lower image shows the city's Confederate monument to Robert E. Lee, with two uniformed men resting at its base -- a reminder that sailors' liberty in port often included sightseeing at local civic landmarks alongside their naval duties. Project: 218600
