World War II Cruise Book

A great part of Naval history.

You would be purchasing the USS Duluth CL 87 cruise book during World War II.  Each page has been placed on a CD for years of enjoyable computer viewing.  The CD comes in a plastic sleeve with a custom label.   Every page has been enhanced and is readable.  Rare cruise books like this sell for a hundred dollars or more when buying the actual hard copy if you can find one for sale.
