Original 1919 Official Program. Pacific Fleet Festival: Welcoming the Officers and Men to the Shores of California
The Big California Activity Book!
From the seller: "Book Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by With B&W photos.. (illustrator). First Edition. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Tall. Paperback. Very Good. First Edition. Rare. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" Tall. 4to [ca.20]pp VG in wraps (tears at spine tips, foxing to cover, edge wear). VG photo (some light soiling & spots to image and reverse). Program of the Pacific Fleet Festival including original black & white signed photograph of the Navy Destroyer U. S. S. Yarnell, (DD143), a 4-stacker. The sterns of two other Destroyers can also be seen, (DD75) the Wickes and (DD77) the Woolsey. Several men can also be seen sitting on the rear decks of the Wickes and Yarnell. In the background beyond the dock can be seen a few buildings and warehouses. The Yarnell was commanded by William F. Halsey when she was originally commissioned in 1918 and also during the fleet festival, when the photo was taken. Halsey would later become famous for his successes in WWII where he directed many battles against the Japanese in the Marshall and Gilbert Islands and at Guadalcanal among others. The Japanese would later sign an official surrender on board Halsey's flag ship the Missouri. It is interesting to note that Halsey became commander of the Wickes a year or so after the festival and later stated in his memoirs that the Wickes was "the best ship I ever commanded; she was also the smartest and cleanest." Halsey was later given the five-star rank of fleet admiral, one of only five men to hold this position. Some further distinction for the Wickes and the Woolsey is that they were two of the four ships assigned to escort President Woodrow Wilson during his voyage to France in 1919 where he attended the Versailles Peace Conference. The name Ray Miller is written on the rear of the photo and also in the program next to the Yarnell's listing, and stating that it was "Ray's Boat". Rare."
