This album page pairs two candid snapshots from a sailor's personal scrapbook. Above, sailors on liberty in Pensacola, Florida pose beside a public drinking fountain marked 'for colored,' a stark visual record of racial segregation in the early twentieth-century American South. A playbill for William Gillette's popular stage adaptation of Sherlock Holmes helps date the image to the period 1899-1910s. Below, a view from the deck of a U.S. Navy cruiser shows gulls swarming a ship's boat amid scraps thrown overboard, with other vessels anchored in the harbor beyond — an everyday moment of shipboard life during the 'Old Navy' era.
