Handwritten on the back of the photo, "transport svcs. float." Clipping attached below, "A replica of the transport, General Simon B.Buckner was the contribution of the Military Sea Transport Service. Even the miniature life boats swung on tiny davits off the stern. It was one of the hits of the Armistice Day parade here." Photo shows people lined up on sidewalks watching floats of military ships go by in a parade. This float looks like an exact replica, with an American flag at the bow and signal flags strung over the top of it.
