U.S. Navy Seabee Cruisebooks are unofficial pictorial publications that document the daily life and deployment of a Seabee unit. Creating cruisebooks is an old tradition of the U.S. Navy which dates back to the late 1800s. The newly formed U.S. Navy Seabees continued this tradition shortly after their creation at the beginning of World War II. The U.S. Navy Seabee Museum has digitized its large collection of cruisebooks in order to make them available to our patrons and community.
