Description
Photograph of navy men and civilians casting flowers into the sea at the Santa Monica pier, 1925-1935. A young man in a naval uniform looks away from the camera in the foreground, throwing his flowers over the railing for sailors who have died at sea. The crowd behind him including civilians and other navy men, do the same. A man in civilian clothing stands further back in a western-style hat. Flowers and flower petals hang in the air in mid-fall.
