Every day on board or on leave is documented in this diary of about 70 pages written in Dan's own hand. He departed on USS Coloardo from Bremerton, Washington and made port calls in Peru, Chile, San Francisco, San Diego, Hawaii, Philippines, Corinto, Nicaragua, Panama, San Juan Del Sur, Gulf of Fonseca, Mexico, and a few other places.

Photo cards are from USS Colorado and depict real life on ship. Some have descriptions written on back. From Nicaragua, Panama, Philippines, and other places. One card shows a boxing match and another is from Dan's Mother with written message to him. Some show US Marines in Nicaragua. Some of the cards depict Dan by himself and with shipmates.
