Shipboard Newspapers
Shipboard
newspapers were the creation of various members of each ship's company.
The editors published news of daily / weekly events on the ship - sometimes
factual, sometimes slightly modified for entertainment purposes.
Regardless of whether or not the stories were fact or fiction, these
"rags" were great moral boosters onboard ship. Below are a few
issues of ship board newspapers that were submitted for posterity's sake.
