Title: U.S. Marines
Description: Returning on board a U.S. Navy battleship, circa the early 1900s. The photograph was printed at about that time, in -tinted form, on a postal card published by the Hugh C. Leighton Company, Portland, Maine. The original postal card's caption erroneously identifies the ship as USS Maine. She is actually USS Kearsarge (Battleship # 5) or her sister ship, USS Kentucky (Battleship # 6). Courtesy of Commander Donald J. Robinson, USN (Retired), 1983. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
