P. 1 of Early U.S. Warships, Submarines & Panama

   Shown below are historic photos of American ships and the Panama Canal Zone about 1907. Most of these photos have never before been published.
   I am offering enlargements or scans of these historic photos for sale. Read on to learn more.
   Please read the caption to see what each photo is of.
   If you want to see a larger version of the photo please click on the image.
   Some of these photos are from original negatives (nitrate and glass plate), a few are from high quality copy negatives.
   Photos copyrighted by Sea Bird Publishing, Inc. are noted. All photos are from the collection of Sea Bird Publishing, Inc.
   If you are maintaining a .org website to remember veterans and their deeds and want a free 72dpi image of any of these photos please use the links to access the larger versions and use them. Please give credit for the photo(s) to Sea Bird Publishing, Inc. and include a link to this page.
   The Sea Bird Publishing, Inc. logo DOES NOT appear on finished photographic enlargements or in the scans. I added it to the scans on the page only.
   New, custom made 8"x10" B&W enlargements are $15.00. This is the largest I can make a print at the moment as I am limited to digital only because the continuous tone, wet, darkroom I've been renting for several decades is no more. The guy I had been renting it from decided he was going to sell it and gave me first chance to buy it. Now the whole rig is my carport wrapped in visquine and duct tape until I can come up with a bundle of money to enclose the carport and turn part of it into a darkroom. This might be some time at the rate I make money.
   Scans are $12.50 each irregardless of size. I can attach them to email (if there aren't many), FTP them to a site of your choice or burn a CD and mail it ($10.00).
   Enlargements or scans of copyrighted photos are sold with one time worldwide re-print rights only.
   In the USA priority mailing of carefully packed photos, with tracking, is $5.50 for up to a pound of prints. That's about twelve 8"x10" photos. Your photos can also be shipped first class if you prefer. Request first class for mailing quote.
