During the attack on Pearl Harbor the USS Oklahoma was sunk, 429 Sailors were lost. The USS Pennsylvania was in dry dock in Pearl Harbor at the time. She suffered 15 crewmen killed, 14 missing in action (presumed dead), and 38 wounded, with casualties resulting from bomb fragments and debris, including a torpedo tube section blown onto her deck from the destroyer Downes. The Pennsylvania was the flagship of the U. Being in drydock spared it from the direct catastrophic hits of other battleships, but it still sustained significant damage and casualties from the attack.
A fine description of original photos of military and civilian. Book is tattered but still presents nicely. Listing photos depict every photo/page in book.
US Navy WW1 Era Rare Sweet Heart Apron from USS Frederick. The waist band is a sailor’s hat tally for the USS Frederick (true to period). The Navy eagles on the rates match the period (raised embroidery with eagle head pointing up over wing). This apron was beautifully hand stitched from sailor’s scarves and it is a unique and rare piece of history. The USS Frederick was originally commissioned as the USS Maryland in 1905 as an Armored Cruiser (ACR-8). As well, it had the honor of transporting the US Olympic team to Belgium in 1920. There is some minor “mothing” holes in apron but it is in overall excellent condition. I describe and represent all items to the best of my ability, please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have questions or need further information.
