The Snapshots in Time Collection
Garden Path and Residence, Tropical Port of Call, USS Columbia Album, c. 1898-1908
A faded snapshot from the USS Columbia photograph album depicts a garden path and residence encountered during a shore liberty stop, likely in a Caribbean or Gulf Coast port visited by the cruiser around the turn of the 20th century. Such informal images, taken with hand-held cameras carried by crew members, offer glimpses of daily life and local surroundings beyond the ship itself. Project: 218601
