Sailor suit

A tailor aboard the U.S.S. Minnesota made this child-sized sailor suit for Mortimer M. Lawrence of Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. Born in 1890, Mort Lawrence was probably in fourth grade in 1900 when the suit was made. It is a copy of those worn by sailors in the late 1800s and is now a part of the textile collection of the Wisconsin Historical Society.
