Utah which itself was later sunk at Pearl Harbor December 7 1941 – this details the life of Thomas Shea and does include the now questionably racist terminology “Chinaman” in the description of a personal tattoo – it details Thomas Shea was born in NY NY and his journey through the years in the U. Navy – signed by himself along with the signature of many a commanding officer paymaster commander and lieutenant commander – a true piece of American Militaria History so take advantage. Please check the pictures very carefully for the exact age and condition – it’s entirely original and very nice for the age and rarity – take a good look then make a fair offer and it’ll be yours, wait and it’ll be gone for sure – please see also the super rare signed and sealed / stamped U. Utah Thomas Shea Ancient Order of the Deep Card we have in a separate listing.
