USS Patricia (1919-1919)
One of the ship's life boats alongside, with its crew suffering
from sea sickness, 12 June 1919. Patricia was then removing
men from USS Graf Waldersee (ID # 4040), which had been
disabled in collision with S.S. Redondo a few hours after
departing New York on a voyage to France.
Edward D. Porges, then an officer on Patricia, inscribed
this photograph: "My men all laying sea sick".
