Crew Roster of the U.S.S. MAINE
Crewmen of the Battleship MAINE. This group appears to
include coal passers (men who shoveled the coal within the coal
bunkers and from the bunkers to the boiler rooms), and possibly oilers
and similar positions. As with any group of men carrying shovels there
are always some who will hold them as guitars!
