Peabody's Improbable History: Hop into the WABAC Machine

YankeeHookele

Just felt like a bit of history this morning.

Here's the USS Milwaukee in 1923. Notice the sailing outrigger canoe in the foreground. The iakos are different from anything I know. My guess is the photographer was a bit under the weather.

Patience
Since you are Down Under you must hold your monitor upside down.
I will smear some Vegemite on the photo and it ought to get through customs (this may give the photo a slight sepia tone to those viewing from Up Over.)

I change a few settings on the WABAC machine and here's a WWII historical photo of an outrigger used by the ANZACs that you can keep the monitor right side up to view..

The WABAC machine just hiccuped.

Which way is this OC-4 going, actually?

I think it's going the direction the kid with the paddle wants to go - he looks mean.
