A U.S. Army freight and supply vessel, marked F-115, lies moored at a hand-built timber pier at a forward Pacific base during World War II. Strung bow to stern with signal flags, the ship is 'dressed' for a ceremonial occasion amid the dense jungle terrain that defined so many island logistics outposts. Vessels like this one carried the food, fuel, ammunition, and equipment that kept forward combat units supplied, often built and berthed with whatever materials were on hand at the water's edge.
