Ship-to-Ship View in Sasebo Harbor, Japan (Photographer's Deck Foreground, Cargo Vessel Alongside)

This blurred snapshot, part of a negative series labeled 'Sasebo, Japan,' was taken from the deck of one vessel looking toward another ship moored or under way nearby. Sasebo served as a major Imperial Japanese Navy base and, after 1945, became a key U.S. Navy port during the occupation of Japan and subsequent Korean War logistics operations. Project: 218646
