[Rarebooks] FS: 1920s U.S.S. Pennsylvania Battleship Photo Album

[Joslin Hall Rare Books, Ephemera & Photographs]

1920s U.S.S. Pennsylvania Battleship Photo Album.

An interesting album of mid-1920s images showing daily life aboard ship, 
officers and sailors, interiors, the ship at sea and on maneuvers, city 
scenes in Panama and of the Canal, and so on. Some of the images are 
identified in handwriting on the negative. The only dated photo shows 
the ship in drydock in March, 1925. “USS Pennsylvania (BB-38) was the 
lead ship of the Pennsylvania class of United States Navy 
super-dreadnought battleships. She was launched on 16 March 1915, and 
commissioned on 12 June 1916” [Wikipedia]. During the inter-war period 
she operated in both the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. She served a 
distinguished career during WWII ands was then used as one of the target 
ships in the Operation Crossroads atomic bomb tests at Bikini Atoll in 
1946. In 1948 she was sunk off Kwajalein atoll.

Album. 12.5”x10. 60 7”x5” images, 6 3.25”x5” and 6” images, and an 
8”x10” image (with mounts for a second, missing image) all mounted with

scattered old water-staining and light waving to the top outer page
