Product Details

Lot of 9 vintage color snapshots, each 3.5x5 inches, documenting a harbor tour boat outing past US Navy warships, most likely at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, with a couple of images possibly taken at a naval shipyard (conceivably Yokosuka, Japan) based on the dockside cranes and skyline. Views include a large Navy cruiser with radar masts, a destroyer/frigate with a partial hull number ending in '866,' a replenishment or hospital-type ship marked P145 at the bow, and a vessel with a partial hull number '107x' near heavy shipyard cranes. Several shots show silhouetted tourists seated at the rail under the boat's canopy, giving strong candid period atmosphere; one final image shows a silhouetted patrol/landing craft at dusk with a heavy purple color shift. All prints show the characteristic magenta/pink color fading typical of 1970s Kodak color film; condition is otherwise consistent with age, quality ranges from soft-focus candids to clear ship detail shots. No captions or handwriting are present on the photos. Associated with the estate of USAF Col. Patricia Jane Harrington. A nice grouping for collectors of Navy ships, Pearl Harbor, or 1970s travel/military history. Please review photos for condition.
