We have no information on this group. The similarity of the uniforms strongly suggest that it was a military school. All we have is a photo postcard which had no writing on the back. The card shows a large group of boys in naval uniforms. We believe that it is American, although the striped dicklies have a European look. We believe that it must have been a naval military school. This was not very common. The only naval military school we know of was Culver. We are not sure that the school here was Culver, but it may have been. In contrast to army-type schools, naval military schools were very rare. The style of uniform and the post-card format suggests gto us that the photograph was taken in the early 20th century. The photograph shows boys from about 5-15 years of age. In the very back row you can see about six Women and some men standing behind the boys. On reflection I am brginning to think that the boys may not be American, even thought the back of the postcard is printed in English. A reader thinks the boys may be Russian. I rather thought they might be French.
