Item description from seller

Twenty-one loose 10.5" x 13.5" photo album pages holding about 175 photos, mostly measuring 2.5" x 3.5" from a US Sailor's photo album from his time at a base in Corinto, Nicaragua in 1943-1944. There are photos of locals, scenery and other sailors. One photo shows a fella by writing in the sand that says "the fighting Sea-Bees." Some photos are identified and some are not. There are pics of people playing baseball, including women, shots of normal everyday lives and lots of photos of women. The pages are loose and the edges are brittle. A handful of photos look to be missing from the pages. The shots that remain are very good and tell a story of life there during WWII.
