USS Cimarron (AO-22)
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.
