The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 7
Kept by a crewman of the protected cruiser USS Columbia (C-12), this album captures the "Old Navy" at the turn of the twentieth century. Gun crews and studio portraits sit alongside a mascot goat, a Mexican bullfight, and tropical liberty ports, revealing both the discipline and the humor of shipboard life.
