This album page records a visit to the U.S. Navy Yard at Philadelphia (League Island), where the auxiliary cruiser USS Yankee, a converted passenger liner, lies moored beside the torpedo boat USS Stringham while sailors muster in ranks on the pier. A small inset photograph documents a separate liberty call in St. Thomas, Danish West Indies (present-day U.S. Virgin Islands). Together the images illustrate the varied duties and ports of the 'Old Navy' fleet in the years following the Spanish-American War, circa 1898-1910s. Project: 218602
