  3. After looking over the photo, and the wrestlers attire and even their hairstyles, and my avid love of maritime-nautical history, and naval architecture, I believe that these wrestlers are standing on an open deck of a ship that’s from more like the turn of century. More in line with the Great White Fleet, and pre-World War I ship design… i’m thinking along the lines of the USS Oregon BB-3. The overhanging deck, superstructure behind the group, and even the wooden deck they are, seems more like 19-teens than 1930s…

    1. This website https://flagshipolympia.com/enlisted/ which oddly says it specializes in 1900-1922 Navy lore, says the photo is 1930.
