The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

NOVEMBER 14, 2016  "Tots in Transit: 1943."  September 1943.  "Washington Court House, Ohio.  Mothers with their babies waiting at the Greyhound bus depot."  Esther Bubley, OWI.

With gas rationing and no new cars, buses were a way to get around during the war.  Two young  women with a baby each waiting in seats.  You have to wonder where they're going?  perhaps to see their husbands home on leave from the military?
