"Great White Fleet" World Cruise, 1907-1909
Race boat crew from one of the Fleet's battleships resting at
Waikiki Beach, Oahu, Hawaii Territory, 19 July 1908. Their ship
is probably USS Connecticut (Battleship # 18), as the
officer in the left center background is Midshipman Robert R.M.
Emmet, who was assigned to that ship.
The original photo, printed on post card stock, states that this
was "the winning crew that day". The card was mailed
at Honolulu on 21 July 1908.
