Colorized stereograph showing a boat of sailors leaving their ship for shore leave, also called a “Liberty Leave.” The sailors are wearing their dress white uniforms and most are seated in the boat. Part of a ship is seen on the left side of the image. The reverse of the stereograph includes information about the sailors’ leaves.
Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “When the ship is at anchor in the harbor in ‘the piping times of peace,’ the sailor gets what is called ‘his liberty leave.’ That is, at intervals he is allowed to go on shore for twenty-four hours or more, and every morning from one to three ship’s boats are taken in tow by the little launch and the sailors are landed on shore to report again at the same spot at the same hour to be taken back to the ship.
This Stereoscopic View shows the ‘Liberty Party’ casting off, ready to be towed to shore by the little launch. They are all ready and expecting to have a very enjoyable holiday.”
