These are some of the best cards of this collection showing the event at Hibyia Park in Tokyo during the fleet's visit. The event was put on for 2500 American sailors and included different stages with juggling, martial arts, and sword dancinng to name a few. |

Shipmates
Within this group is likely the M. R. Battey. These photos seem to be more personal than the others. The last two are a different size and document the award of a skull to the two groups of sailors. |

The People and Events Many of the cards show sailors from other Navies or events onboard the ship. In these two cards Philippine sailors and venders aboard ships selling their goods became topics for the camera. |

This group of cards are a great group of cards that show the people of Ceylon when the fleet visited. There are also a couple of nice cards showing the arch erected for the fleet's visit.
