Merchant Marine trainees march at a dedication in New York

A parade ground stretches back to a grey horizon, filled with blocks of men in dark uniforms and caps; the nearest column swings past, arms swinging, and in the foreground civilians in felt hats and officers in peaked caps watch with their backs to the camera. The source speaks of ten thousand merchant seamen marching at the dedication of a Merchant Marine training station in New York. The merchant fleet, whose ships carried troops and supplies across the oceans, lost more men in proportion than any of the armed services.
