    Description

    A captivating manuscript notebook kept by an unidentified U.S. Navy Sailor during World War II, presumably during a course in navigation and featuring original, hand-done color illustrations of the entire International Code of Signals. Undated, though the GPO catalog number would seem to date this to World War II.
