Captain John W. Murphy, ship's Commanding Officer, presents King Ibn Saud, of Saudi Arabia, to the Executive Officer, during a Royal visit on board, probably near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, circa 1947.
Some of the King's bodyguards are standing nearby, with photographers beyond. David Duncan of "Life" Magazine (with flash camera) is one of the latter. Standing at right are U.S. Minister to Saudi Arabia J. Rives Childs (in dark glasses) and Waldo Bailey, the U.S. Consul at Dhahran.
