Description
A colorized view shows rows of sailboats lined up along a dock with midshipmen in white uniforms preparing for drill. Tall masts and rigging create a dense vertical pattern across the scene, with academy buildings visible in the background. The image has an official naval photograph look and a calm waterfront setting. 1920s.
