Almost a Duplicate in Wakaura Bay, Wakayama City, Japan
Photos from an historically important, relaxed, seaside Japanese city
This photo almost duplicates one in the cruise book for the USS Montpelier, CL-57, Cleveland Class Cruiser. Shot without detailed knowledge of the 1945 photo, this picture created a stir among the old salts attending an annual reunion for Monty alumni. The only think missing, they say, is the dock where POWs boarded shuttles for their trip the hospital ships waiting them in the bay. The modern structures on the far side of Wakaura Bay are also new. You can read about the views of one sailor in Buss, the Emperor and Jackie, currently in production by Village Hiker Press.
