U.S. Navy 1935
An impeccable source says these are U.S. Navy personnel on a cruiser in 1935.
The partioned showers don't seem right, unless that was a perk for officers.
This would have been for officers. The first ("prospective") commanding officer of a new-built ship has some input on arrangements and he may have specified partitioned showers like this. This relative privacy was probably sacrificed as the ship was prepared for war-Dee Exx
Well, let's think about this. Sailors at see for months on end and open bay showers... You'd be subjecting most of the crew to Captain's mast for violating the UCMJ. Been there, done that, not fun.
If I had to take a shower with these two, the partition would have been essential to avoid problems! They are magnificent!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Albert.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Dee.
DeleteMy ship was built 10 years later in 1945. I was an enlisted man, and all of our showers were partitioned, complete with shower curtains.

Well that was no fun!
DeleteThat's really surprising for that era-Dee Exx
DeleteThat's a shame! Barracks showers are more fun.
DeleteNicely built gentleman with nothing to hide. A wonderful shot.
