Description

Original vintage matte-finish 10.25 x 8.5 photograph of President Herbert Hoover with the crew on board the USS Arizona, circa 1931, during a trip to Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. In fine condition. Encapsulated by PSA as an authentic 'Type I' photograph. The battleship had just finished a two-year overhaul and was making a 'shakedown' cruise off the east coast, so President Hoover decided to tag along for the ride; ten years later the ship would meet its tragic fate at Pearl Harbor.
