Mystery Photo #25
(Click on picture for a larger view.)
We know the ship. The location is unknown !
In this photo the USS Little Rock appears to be underway slowly - most likely in the Med.
The crew appears to be preparing to, or is just securing from anchoring. Canvas awnings are rigged. Where is this?
Note also the large wall on the hillside in the distance.
If you know where this is, shoot us an e-mail via the "Mystery Photo #25" link on the
Messages, News and Bulletin Board or e-mail the webmaster.
