Ahoy Shipmates
It was the 6th of February, 1909 and the Great White Fleet was coaled and ready for the final leg of some 3579 miles in its great adventure.
There is no doubt that despite the adventures and experiences the officers and men were itching to return home.
The mighty ships weighed anchor and then steamed out into the Atlantic, the ships' bands playing "Home Sweet Home" on this last leg of the voyage.
Cheers
