Photos stored undeveloped in camera for 68 years of Pearl Harbour bombing.

A simple scanner will do nicely in getting good quality copies onto your HD. I have two that I use including a very compact, portable scanner that scans only 4X6 photos. The ship in the first pic looks awesome.

It's hard to tell but, is that an old ironside?

I don't wont to scan them, was told bright ligth could mess up the silver nitrate. If you use a camera, works good to show. Course they're stored correctly now.

I use to have pictures on my PC of them all, but had to do a format a year ago. I think the one on the top left of the page is Harpers Ferry as I have others of it with a better view. Wife has many on her PC, I'll post some of other ships later. Actually the ones I was told that had the most value were the ones with African Americans in them, but seems to be the help for the northern family. The strange thing the oldest album has tin types of soldiers in confederate uniform, just two, but strange..because the rest of the pictures are north related. Most of the pictures are around 1900 of this Captains family, home and travels. He worked on the great lakes probably 1870's and later life Baltimore.

The ships I'm told at the top were in Baltimore Harbor based on other views, I'm not really sure.
