USS Carola IV
(SP-812)

Officers and Men assigned to the ship, photograped at Chateau Barracks, Brest, France in June 1919. The large number present indicates that they were nominally assigned to Carola IV, a rather small converted yacht used as an accomodation ship at Brest, but were actually stationed ashore.

Lieutenant John D. Pennington, USNRF, is standing in the middle of the arch just to the left of center, with his left hand in front of his waist and right hand in his pants pocket.
Note the musical instruments in the extreme left foreground.
