Salutes while on board USS Aramis (SP-418) in New York Harbor, 7 April 1919. He was awaiting the arrival from Europe of his father, Admiral William S. Sims, who was en route on the SS Mauretania.
Note his small-scale Sailor's suit, with peacoat and "flat" hat featuring a cap band from USS Melville (Destroyer Tender # 2), which had been Admiral Sims' flagship as Commander of U.S. Naval Forces in European Waters during and shortly after the First World War.
