The photos in this gallery come from the estate of Rudolph P. Aron. He worked on the Isthmian ship SS Steel Age during the Second World War, and briefly as a Second Officer on the SS Jean Ribuat.
The photos are not dated, but appear to have been taken in Hawai’i and the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia) between 1945-1947. They also show many aspects of shipboard work: signing articles, cargo handling, leisure time, and shooting the sun.
