Postcard with U.S.S. America (no stamp)
United States · 1919 ·
A postcard featuring the U.S.S. America (originally SS Amerika) and a message from the Jewish Welfare Board to U.S. Soldiers and Sailors. A New York postmark from July 22, 1919, is present, but no postage stamp is visible on the image.
This postcard likely served as a morale booster or communication tool for U.S. service members during or shortly after World War I, reflecting the role of welfare organizations and maritime transport in that era.
