Culebra West Indies Puerto Rico Crew USS Kentucky Bathing 1905 Real Photo Postcard

The USS Kentucky (Battleship No. 6) was a pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, commissioned in 1900. Culebra, an island municipality of Puerto Rico, became a significant U.S. naval base and training ground in the early 20th century, following the Spanish-American War. This image likely dates from the battleship's active service, possibly between 1900 and 1913, when Culebra served as the primary Atlantic Fleet gunnery and maneuvering area.
