The sailor himself, in various guises


New recruit and old hand?


Sarong, fan, experimental moustache? No comment.


What a long sea voyage may do to a man.


Compare with this, almost certainly taken at the same spot. Look at the rivets. But the moustache is shorter. Or is it a shadow of his nose? Can you see why I call him Popeye the sailorman? Look at the arms!




Ahem!


I think this photo still has merit, though something was wrong with the negative. I don’t know if it was developed wrong, or has decayed since with the aid of mould.
