Shipboard Life

Life onboard the USS Georgia involved many routine acts and included a group of mascots for the crew.  The photo to the left shows a crewmember with the cub bear that the Georgia received from Aberdeen, Washington while visiting Seattle.  On the right is a liberty launch being towed in the harbor by the ship's steamer.  This was the method of transfering sailors ashore.

From the deck of another ship or while riding in a liberty launch, Gerald photographed his ship the USS Georgia against a backdrop of Diamond Head while the ships are anchored of Waikiki Beach.

Many of the photographs were observations of the trees and plants including a banyan tree in Honolulu and palm trees around the island. 

New Zealand and the Maori Tribe

This set of  photographs were made during the fleet's visit to Roturua where they were greeted by the Maori Tribe.  During their visit they were treated to a host of activities to help extend the welcome of the New Zeland people.

These two photographs are from the Ellerslie Race Track where commorative races were held in honor of the fleet's visit on Wednesday, August 12th.
