Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hatchet of the United States Ship George Washington A letter from the Captain to the Postmaster at New York stated that he thought that the forces going overseas might also have some of the papers, etc, while on the way, and a request was made for several thousand. The matter was referred to the Postmaster General at Washington, and as a result all transports applying for the papers would receive all they asked for. Moving pictures at sea were out of the question. They could not be held on deck, and if an accident happened, such as a torpedo hitting the ship, when several hundred men were crowded in one compart ment, the results might be very serious. After the ship was in good running order, however, movies were held when the ship was in port, and since the armistice was signed, they have been an almost nightly occurrence.
