Naval cadets at store window of the U.S. Naval Training Station, University of Washington, September 1918
Order an ImageIn 1917, a committee from the University of Washington offered campus facilities to the United States Navy, which decided to build a temporary Naval Training Station on campus grounds along Portage Bay on Lake Union (near the area now occupied by the UW Health Sciences Center). The station was established on August 1, 1917, largely through the efforts of Navy Commander Miller Freeman. Before the camp closed in 1919, over 5,000 men had been trained there for both naval and naval aviation units.
This photograph shows Naval cadets crowding the window of the training station store, where they could purchase such necessities as candy bars, tobacco products, soap, shaving supplies and black Shinola.
