Item #766

A fascinating photo album which dates from 1924 to 1940. It starts with the documentation of the first passenger flight around the world on a Graf Zeppelin, which includes the woman Journalist, Lady Drummond Hay. There are twelve photos of the zeppelin, photographed at its stop in Los Angeles. It appears fthat this album was put together by a Sailor on the USS Vega, and there are photos of scenes on the ship, as well as at stops. There are fantastic shots of Alaska, San Diego, the Panama Canal, Seattle, New York City, Grenada, etc. There are also photos of other ships, including the USS Constitution, the USS Niagara, USS Langley, USS Texas, etc. The album measures 7" x 11" and has 164 snapshots held to the page with corner tabs. Most of the photos are described, either with a typewritten note pasted under photo, or written within the negative. One photo is loose and creased, otherwise it is in very good condition and quite beautiful.
