WWI Photo Collection USS MERCY AH-4 1918 Hospital Ship US Navy Ships Subs SailorORIGINAL PHOTO LOT OF 140+ PHOTOS. THE LOT WAS PURCHASED AND IS PART OF A LARGER SINGLE OWNER (SAILOR) COLLECTION.
_______________
Photos are priced in the range of ~2.00 to ~4.00 per photo. Most have either military historical and/or US Navy historical value. This lot is not cheap to purchase and is intended for collectors of US Navy history, US Navy Hospital Ships, USS Mercy and WW1 History. I have had all of the photos listed individually for quite some time - I will not sell the photos individually any longer.
_______________
All of my Mercy photos are from a collection that belonged to a hospitalman (crew) of the USS Mercy.
Content of the collection of photos - (Note - there are about 30 photos not included in the photo of the entire lot - these are of scenes in France taken by the Mercy Sailor)

On 27 September 1917, the U.S. Navy purchased Saratoga from the War Department. On 30 October 1917, she began conversion to a hospital ship at the New York Navy Yard, Brooklyn, New York, and was commissioned USS Mercy on 24 January 1918. Mercy and Comfort (former Ward Line mate, Havana) were the first Navy hospital ships to have female nurses aboard. Both ships were outfitted with state-of-the-art operating rooms and X-ray labs and could accommodate 500 patients each. Assigned to the Atlantic Fleet, Mercy operated in the Chesapeake Bay area with Yorktown, Virginia, as her home port, attending the war wounded and transporting them from ships to shore hospitals. In October 1918 she sailed for New York to join the Cruiser and Transport Service. On 3 November the hospital ship departed New York on the first of four round trips to France, returning 1,977 casualties by 25 March 1919.
