Departing from Hampton Roads in December 1907, there was still some question as to the intent of the Fleet as in arrived in the Pacific.
Was the United States going to war with Japan?
This Harper's Weekly Magazine article "Fight or Frolic" outlines the nations thoughts.
Remember the next instalment being number 200 will fall on the anniversary of the return of this fine Fleet to Hampton Roads.
Sadly it will also be the final in the series.
Cheers
