Photo #: NH 94963-KN (color)
U.S. Marines
Returning on board a U.S. Navy battleship, circa the early 1900s.
The photograph was printed at about that time, in color-tinted
form, on a postal card published by the Hugh C. Leighton Company,
Portland, Maine.
The original postal card's caption erroneously identifies the
ship as USS Maine. She is actually USS Kearsarge
(Battleship # 5) or her sister ship, USS Kentucky (Battleship
# 6).
Courtesy of Commander Donald J. Robinson, USN (Retired), 1983.
