Inscriptions Typed in ink on slip of paper placed behind photograph: Three boats of some type, supposedly at Cleveland, Ohio, during World War I. Taken by someone as they lay inside the breakwater in downtown Cleveland about 1917 or 1918.
I would consider the possibility of their being in the Philadelphia Navy Yard as it was called earlier, but it does not look like it and I have never seen that type of boat there though familiar with it since 1908. Now 1959. The print was mounted with Cleveland pictures which makes the first quite a possibility. I never thought I would forget but we did not take the picture. If at the Philadelphia Navy Yard, the picture would have been taken by someone about 1926.
