USS Corsair
(SP-159)

Members of the ship's crew posed on the after deckhouse in mid-1917, soon after she entered Navy service. These men are spelling out Corsair's name in semaphore ("wig-wag") code.
Note the ship's after conning station in the center foreground, speaking tubes at the end of the deckhouse, and the after pair of 3"/50 guns.
