2025.1001.85Description
Entries 2025.1001.23 through 2025.1001.99 were taken out of the significantly deteriorated pages of at least one photo album belonging to Texas crew members and bought by BTF. The album photos date to the early to mid 1920s. Each photo had writing on the pages of the book, now discarded. The caption formerly on the page for this photo read,
"The boilers that were for the U.S.S. North Carolina." which is likely a misidentification of USS South Carolina.
Features several boilers with wooden fences put up on either side. Building in background.Context
