Life for a young sailor based in Hawaii during the early 1940s must have seemed an idyllic assignment with sunny days at the beach, routine drills on base and time spent with comrades.

Will Seippel, CEO and founder of WorthPoint, recently purchased the album and thought members might enjoy the photos as much as he does.
