Colorized stereograph showing a group of sailors in white uniforms playing Whist as other sailors watch. Text on the reverse of the stereograph details the different card games the sailors play in their free time.
Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “The boys are limited in their different pastimes and in cramped quarters, outside of their work, there is nothing to fit in or can take the place of a game of cards. Gambling is strictly prohibited on board any of Uncle Sam’s ships, but the boys will engage in Pinochle, Forty-five, Euchre and that sort of thing.
Here is a four-handed game of Whist, and it is a little bit interesting and exciting at the present moment. The boys get around in little corners out of the way between decks and enjoy this to their hearts’ content.”
