First edition. 243pp. Illus. The Honda Point disaster is the largest peacetime loss of U.S. Navy ships. On the evening of September 8, 1923, seven destroyers ran aground at Honda Point, a few miles from the northern side of the Santa Barbara Channel. Twenty-three sailors died in the disaster. This history of the incident is a relatively common and inexpensive book. But accompanying it are 13 vintage 3x5" b/w photographs, 8 original b/w negatives with different images, and 9 b/w photos from the negatives, possibly printed later. The book is good in d/w. The photos were apparently taken by an amateur photographer at the scene; none of the photos appear in the book. The photos are VG, with the vintage photos glued to album pages.
