Salvage Sailor Posted August 12, 2018 Share #44 Posted August 12, 2018 Written on the reverse of this postcard, sent from "George" is: "Most all of the fellows have their hair cut all off as you see a few here. that is the costume down here." Note the mascot, which appears to be a calf. I wonder where "here" is? I don't know where "here" is but this was taken aboard a USN vessel, note the sailor in the background on bow watch and they're standing on deck under a sun awning in front of a ventilator.
