This is one of the many items that I have collected over the past three years from the USS North Caroina ACR-12. Many are postcards to home like the one I have here. Others are more rare items such as a diary and photos of a sailor who had entries from the time he enlisted until October 1918 during escort missions onboard the North Carolina.

This postcard comes from Cuba on 28 May 1911. I couldn't really get the sender's name but the recipient was a Mr Sargent. The writing on this card is incredibly small. I had a hard time reading it even with a magnifying glass.
