At Sea
The second part of my 3rd Anniversary special is up- it's called At Sea. It's 35 slides taken by a sailor on board a destroyer (I think- please correct me if I'm wrong) from '66 to '68. The photos are mostly of his shipmates or simply shots of the open ocean but I think it captures the odd languor I associate with being at sea (though I have to admit any associations I have come only from reading Conrad). One interesting note: the swift boat in photo third from the the bottom here is one of the boats that would later take part in the John Kerry swift boat incident- not the boat he was actually on but one of the escorts.
