Caption: File number: 704771 Hold for release to A.M. newspapers on Saturday, December 27, 1947 American Sailors visit Mediterranean ports - Sailors of the U. S. Navy, Mediterranean Fleet, have frequent opportunities for shore leave in many famous historical ports - ports which have been havens for sailors for centuries. This series of photographs was made in October 1947. Three in a series of six. The city of Venice, Italy was different and new for the bluejackets of the USS YELLOWSTONE, a destroyer tender, during her stop there in October 1947. A group of them are pictured in the photograph, above, on the concourse alongside the canal of St. Mark with the famous Campanile Tower in the distance. Just to the right of it can be seen the domes of the ancient Church of St. Mark. Venice, with her many canals, has no street cars or busses for transportation and instead uses the "amoretti" (boat) seen docked just beyond the bridge.
