These photos are from the photo album of Gilbert F. Holcomb (1893-1973) who served on the USS Arkansas from 1917-1919. Many were taken by him and show what life was like on the battleship for the regular seaman. The photos taken by him have never been published before. MaritimeQuest is grateful to his daughter Karen Holcomb Cloherty for the time and effort she spent scanning and organizing these photos and for allowing us to be the first to publish them. |
