Photograph by David Coleman. The Marine Life Aboard Ship exhibit at the National Museum of the Marine Corps in Triangle, Virginia, provides an insightful exploration of the conditions faced by Marines and sailors on Navy warships during the early 19th century. Known as "the Frigate Navy, " these warships were characterized by their cramped quarters, where enlisted men slept in canvas hammocks slung between bulkhead hooks. As the ships pitched and rolled with the waves, the sailors adapted to the motion, rising at reveille to secure their hammocks for the day. The exhibit offers a detailed look at the daily routines, living conditions, and challenges faced by the naval personnel of the time. It also touches on the solemn practice of burial at sea, a tradition in which deceased sailors were sewn into their hammocks, wrapped in the American flag, and committed to the ocean. This exhibit provides a window into the maritime traditions, hardships, and camaraderie experienced by sailors aboard Navy warships, highlighting the resilience and adaptability required to endure life at sea. The National Museum of the Marine Corps showcases this important aspect of naval history, reflecting the evolving role of Marines and sailors in the United States military and their contributions to maritime warfare.
