Peru, 1937
Torpedoman Third Class Thomas Wiley Marks posed in Callao, Peru, during the The Inter-American Technical Conference on Aviation in September 1937.
The Farragut-class detroyers Worden and Hull escorted the aircraft carrier Ranger to Peru in early September 1937. A few weeks later, Worden and Hull stopped at Balboa, Canal Zone, en route back to the United States.
Worden also visited Peru in 1936.
The “U.S.S. WORDEN” hat ribbon (right) appears smudged, but readable, in this hand-tinted photo.
