Navy Cruise Books added to Mocavo.com

Mocavo.com continues their commitment to add 1,000 new databases every day to their website. On 7 May 2014, in addition to the daily 1,000 databases, Mocavo.com has added nearly 1,000 Navy Cruise Books to their collection of more than 340,000 free databases.

You can take a look at the Navy Cruise Books online by clicking HERE.

Here is how Cliff Shaw, describes the collection in his blog post,
Navy Cruise Books offer a unique glimpse into the daily lives of Navy sailors. Similar to high school or college yearbooks, they were created by volunteers aboard a ship to help commemorate a particular deployment. Candid photos and portraits of the ship’s crew members breathe life into their daily experiences, while biographies and stories reveal a first-hand account of what life was like at sea. Images range from documenting moments of their daily routines (such as strategizing and reporting for duty), to more casual images that capture soldiers having a good time while acting in talent shows, winning pie eating contests, and more. We picked out some of our favorite images to help get you started.
