Attic treasures #1- USS Yosemite 1956

This afternoon I ventured up to the attic for the first time in at least ten years. Spiderwebs were everywhere and I managed to remove most of them with my body. Blech!

While looking inside forgotten boxes I had a Eureka! moment. I'd been looking for these pictures for a very long time. I thought there were more than three but my old memory isn't what it used to be. :)

When my dad was the commander of the destroyer tender USS Yosemite he arranged to have a car show on her home dock in Newport, RI. It was 1956. And the cars were antiques.

Card on window says 1917.
