The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 6
Shore-liberty pages from the USS Columbia album center on an afternoon at a Mexican bullring, with handwritten captions naming banderilleros, matadors, Mexican officers, and the Marines who watched from the grandstand. Park promenades, a cut-out portrait titled "Old Chums," and a landing party billeted in a Mexican palace complete this record of American sailors abroad.
