WW1 US Navy 1918 US Navy USS Black Hawk or USS Lake View Journey 6x4 Photo

Description: This is an extremely rare, and perhaps one-of-a-kind image World War One U.S. Navy image. This is a photo brought back from WWI by a US Navy sailor named Joseph Mondzelski of Parson, PA who appears to have served aboard destroyer tender USS Black Hawk and/or USS Lake, largely in Scotland (Kirkwall/Orkney islands). He also took photos of USS Lakeview, a transport ship that operated near Scotland too, and appears to have been familiar with that crew. Type & Size: A 6x4 original photograph. Condition: The back side of most photos in this lot have remnants from being glued in a scrapbook. Please see photos for condition. This photograph, taken in 1918, captures a view from the deck of a ship, potentially linked to the US Navy, likely during the First World War. The image is a unique perspective looking out over the water with various ropes and equipment visible, hinting at the ship's operational responsibilities. Given its historical significance, it may be associated with the USS Black Hawk or USS Lake. During World War I, the naval operations in the Atlantic, especially around Scotland, were crucial for troop movements and supplies. Ships like the USS Black Hawk served vital roles in these operations, acting as tender or support vessels for other naval ships. The involvement of sailors like Joseph Mondzelski, documented in personal collections, gives this photo added significance as a historical artifact from that era.
