WW2 USN U.S. Navy Battleship Crew Panoramic Photo, 45.5\" Long!
VintageThis is quite a long photograph! Almost 4\' long!45-1/2\" x 9-7/8\"The only picture identifier is \"M1028\"You can see a crew (or at least part of a crew), a ship\'s castle/tower, multiple cranes, two 3-barreled guns, searchlight(s), the Marine detachment in their dress uniforms, Naval officers have up to three stripes and a star on sleeves, one African-American sailor in the upper right.
The uniforms appear to be circa WWII due to the width of the hats. The gun barrels are big ones, and three of them have the weather plugs with a star in the center in them. Fun observation - The front row of officers are sitting so that their legs all point towards the center.
The crane shed on a track on the right-hand side of the photograph has an identification plate, but the resolution and focus is not enough to read the plate. Above the crew in the upper left almost looks like the dual wings of an old seaplane. The structures are also of an older style. A naval ship enthusiast could probably spend quite some time looking over this with a magnifying glass to try and identify which class of ship(s) is in the background and whether any of the structures are dockside.
Used, as-is. Has been rolled for a long time so tends to retract to that state unless weighed down. Stains. 1\" tears at ends. Creases and cracks near ends. Dirt and wear and scratche. Tape on reverse side. See attached pictures. Glass jar paperweights and ruler in pictures are not included in sale.
Photograph will be shipped rolled as that is how it has been stored for many years.
