As a former swabby i appreciated this, but I'm wondering how American sailors ended up in Paris. Maybe on leave and took a train from the port where their ship was visiting. swaby1

It’s possible they were off the USS Memphis (CL-13) sent by President Coolidge to pick up Charles Lindbergh after his historic flight across the Atlantic.
