Really enjoyed these. The Jersey shore pics, the RR pics, DC, NY bridges, US Navy, lots of great stuff. Thanks for posting these shots of an age gone forever. -- Al

Thanks for posting..terrific..clear...sharp photos of many different interests....wrapped in them all.....particularly like the naval photo of the CPO's which shows all the different shapes and sizes of people ...then and now.........too bad TS are not presented that way instead of every TS figure being a mirror image...thanks for the posting...TomB

Excellent, I'd love to see them tackle some British subjects.

The AWI soldiers amaze me, to be able to look at them and know that they lived in the time of our founding fathers.The other photos are great too to see the world as it was before I was ever born.We have to thank members of Timelines and TMP forums for these links.:salute::

Mark...cool site...I have been looking at these photos for the last 30 minutes...the technology is amazing...some look like they were taken today with the best equipment available on the market and also by a professional photographer...

I find this image particularly interesting in that most of them are wearing CPO uniforms but very few of them have crows. Wonder why that is?

I don't know if the U.S. was the same as the Royal Navy, in that the dress was more to do with the job than the rank. For instance an Able Seaman medic wore peaked cap, collar and tie, where as a Chief Petty Officer gunner wore "square rig" (classic naval uniform)
