Scope and content
While ashore during Fleet Week, July 5th-11th, 1938, two unidentified Marines seem to have lost their hats, if not their heads as well, over two young Misses, also unidentified. During Fleet Week, the military landed with force in Tacoma, bringing four battleships and their 5200 officers and men into the city. The week long celebration included parties, a parade, tours of the ships and nightly searchlight drills. TPL-9149
