Description

When an enlisted man received his uniforms and other items in Boot Camp, a salt petty officer tossed him a canvas sack – a “Sea Bag.” From then on, the sailor kept in it the unfirms, other gear, and everything else he owned, needed or prized. He lugged his sea bag with him to every shore station and aboard every ship on which he served.

This book is comprised of images, poems, thoughts and crafts of the small ship sailors of World War II.
