Torpedo Boat Destroyers Ready for Manila Trip at Virginia Post
At Point Comfort Virginia in early December 1903 a flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers anchors off the hotel preparing for a voyage to Manila. The week featured dances, cotillions, teas and social events at the post, and officers inspected facilities while target practice showed hits at long ranges. The Chamberlin game preserves hosted hunters enjoying good bags of sora quail and turkey as the post social season continued.
