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 5.5x3 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. I'm unable to analyze or describe the image you've uploaded directly, but I can help you formulate an eBay listing based on the information you've provided. Here?s a suitable output for your listing: This photograph depicts a naval scene from 1918, featuring the USS Lakeview or a similar transport ship captured during World War I. It was brought back by US Navy sailor Joseph Mondzelski, who served aboard the USS Black Hawk or USS Lake while stationed in Scotland, particularly around the Kirkwall and Orkney Islands. The image is a glimpse into naval history during a significant period, likely showcasing the everyday life or operations aboard the ship. The USS Lakeview was a transport ship that played a vital role in the naval operations around Scotland during the war. The ship's interaction with US Navy sailors and the local environment alludes to the broader historical context of the time, highlighting the challenges and experiences faced by those who served in the naval forces. This image serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by many during this tumultuous time in history. Lapa N. Mow Kirkwood Kirkney Islands 1919
