Description:
Print of a photograph showing a sailor, possibly Frank A. Farrell Jr., in undress whites posing at the forward starboard davit of LST-980 (U.S.S. Meeker County). Two other crewmembers can be seen on the main deck of the ship in the background, and further behind an unidentified shoreline is visible.
