Sailors from tenant commands at Naval Station Norfolk

description

Summary

Sailors from tenant commands at Naval Station Norfolk converged on the Hampton Roads Naval Museum’s H9 annex building earlier this week for a historical presentation about the Great White Fleet. The fleet, which included sixteen battleships and an armada of warships and support vessels, departed Sewells Point on December 16, 1907. Over 15,000 sailors were embarked aboard the warships, and they travelled over 43,000 nautical miles, made 20 ports of call at six continents over the course of 14 months. They returned to Norfolk on February 22, 1909. The annex building hosts its History at H9 presentations throughout the year for area commands on a variety of historical topics, and provides research assistance by appointment. To inquire, contact their registrar at [email protected] or at (757) 445-6844. (US Navy Photo by Max Lonzanida/Released).

The objects in this collection are from The U.S. National Archives and Defense Visual Information Distribution Service. The U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) was established in 1934 by President Franklin Roosevelt. NARA keeps those Federal records that are judged to have continuing value—about 2 to 5 percent of those generated in any given year. There are approximately 10 billion pages of textual records; 12 million maps, charts, and architectural and engineering drawings; 25 million still photographs and graphics; 24 million aerial photographs; 300,000 reels of motion picture film; 400,000 video and sound recordings; and 133 terabytes of electronic data. The Defense Visual Information Distribution Service provides a connection between world media and the American military personnel serving at home and abroad. All of these materials are preserved because they are important to the workings of Government, have long-term research worth, or provide information of value to citizens.
