I really liked this postcard from Ray -a sailor of the Great White Fleet.
It reads as follows:
“Melbourne
Aug 31, 08
Here we are Yirlie. I haven't heard from you since we left Honolulu. The steamer that was to bring us mail was lost in a storm and can't be found and I am out of luck for home mail. I was in the storm, thought of all my meaness. Thought my time had come, waves looked like mountains.
Bye Bye, Lovingly yours, Ray”
Cheers
Sean
