This series consists of photographs compiled by William Outerbridge. There are images of family and friends, many of them poorly identified, and a large number of photographs relating to his career in the U.S. Navy. One of the largest groups of photographs consists of images of the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis, Maryland. These include pictures of Outerbridge and other members of the Class of 1927 engaged in athletics, recreational activities, practice cruises and ceremonies. The next largest group of military photographs consists of peace-time images of naval activities before and after World War II. Among these photographs are images of ships, naval aircraft, award ceremonies and other activities. Charles Lindbergh and his airplane, 'The Spirit of St. Louis,' are included in the pre-war photographs. The smallest group of photographs depicts naval action during World War II. These include the Normandy Invasion; the bombing of Cherbourg, France; and scenes of damage to a landing craft that occurred during the invasion of Mindoro in the Philippines.
