This is an original overseas voyage log from the Imperial Japanese Navy armored cruiser YAKUMO, covering a long-distance training cruise conducted between 1926 and 1927 – a turning point period between the Taisho and early Showa eras. What is written on the spine? The gold lettering on the spine reads. “Commemoration of the Completion of a Training Cruise”. This book was compiled to commemorate the successful completion of an overseas training voyage. From June 13, 1926 (Taisho 15). To January 17, 1927 (Showa 2). This clearly shows that the book is not a later reprint, but a contemporary naval record created during the actual service period. YAKUMO was an armored cruiser of the Imperial Japanese Navy, originally commissioned in the early 1900s. Later reassigned as a training cruiser, responsible for overseas voyages to educate young naval officers. By the 1920s, YAKUMO represented Japan abroad as a floating symbol of naval professionalism. Contents and Historical Value. Unlike battle reports, this diary focuses on daily naval life and real operations, including. Coal loading and fuel management in the coal-fired warship era. Sanitation and disease prevention during long voyages. Foreign port visits and international interactions. Cutter races and onboard training activities. Practical notes on navigation, climate, and logistics. It offers a rare, human-scale view of how sailors actually lived and worked at sea before modern mechanized warfare. This voyage took place before relations between Japan and Western countries deteriorated. Japanese warships regularly visited foreign ports. Naval cruises functioned as both training missions and diplomatic presence. International cooperation was still part of naval culture. As such, this book captures a calmer, outward-looking phase of the Imperial Japanese Navy, making it especially valuable to collectors and researchers. Due to age, the book shows. No missing pages confirmed. Please refer to photographs for exact condition. This is not just a book, but a firsthand naval record documenting. Pre-WWII global naval operations. Everyday life aboard an Imperial Japanese Navy cruiser. Highly recommended for collectors of naval history, maritime records, and pre-WWII Japanese military materials. International Buyers – Please Note. Thank you for your understanding.

Offered is a very rare piece of Marine Corps headgear that is missing from most collections. This is a overseas / theater made USMC officer’s “piss cutter” garrison cover / hat.
