WARM BLANKETS FOR SAILORS

A young merchant sailor on board one of the famous fabricated ships built by the United States shipping board is here pictured, showing the blanket that keeps him warm on cold nights at sea. The blanket, heavy, brown, striped with red, and very warm, is part of the bedding furnished by board on all vessels operated by the board.
