Definantly a cool pic of back in the day when "Ships Were Wood and Men Were Steel". Old Salts hanging out during the "Square-Rigger Navy" USS Mohican circa 1888
Back in the Victorian era, they didn't discard people just because they reached a certain age. If you could do the work, you could hold your place. I like that picture. Simple times, and better times as well.
I like the picture too. It was on the US Navy Archives. You know that is the thing, there was no age discrimmination back then, they probably did not know what that even meant.
A great photo of Senior and his friends....;)
ReplyDeleteYou nailed it, good job Rob, hope you get 20 ft of snow this upcoming week, Lol
