Summary: | Aerial photo of seaplane hangars and ramps at NAS Pensacola taken December 6, 1918. The long building to the left perpendicular to the beach is Building 27, known as the Coal Shed. Constructed in 1827, it was originally used to store coal to power steam-engine vessels that moored at the Pensacola Navy Yard. It was later used to store lumber and at the time of this photo used as an aircraft hangar. Curtiss HS-1L seaplanes are parked on the water. | |
