New Photograph

A photograph of Razorback, as she appeared during World War II, was located by the AIMM staff in the collections of the US Naval Institute in Annapolis, MD. The Naval Institute, which has over 450,000 photographs in its collection, granted permission for AIMM to use the photograph in the museum at no addtional cost.


















Bedford Camera and Video has produced an enlargement of this photograph, which now hangs on the walls of the museum.

Razorback's two 5" 25-caliber deck guns, periscopes, radar mast and even the port and starboard lookouts standing on the periscope shears, are clearly visible in this photograph.

To order copies of this photograph (USNI number 2813-P), or a photograph of YOUR submarine, contact the US Naval Institute Photo Archive Staff. Tell them that the Arkansas Inland Maritime Museum sent you.

That is an amazing photo. It's incredible that this piece of history was recovered and will be made available to public viewing in the museum.
