💬 ABOUT
As long as there have been ships, the image of the sailor has been intertwined with themes of adventure, freedom, and camaraderie.
The Greeks wrote epic tales about their heroes sailing to and from war, their voyages brimming with heroism and heartache.
Beneath these epic poems lies a deeper, often overlooked connection: the intertwined histories of naval and LGBTQ communities.
From clandestine romances aboard ships in the age of sail to the bold expressions of identity in modern navies, sailors have long navigated the turbulent waters of love and acceptance.
This montage not only celebrates real-life men but also their mythic, romanticized counterparts. Both have captured our collective imaginations for generations.
The sailor became a symbol of both rugged masculinity and tender vulnerability, bridging the gap between reality and fantasy. In art, photography, and reality.
From the baby faces of real-life sailors to dreamlike portraits of imagined heroes, this montage pays tribute to the courage and resilience of all who served in uniform. We celebrate and thank them for their service.

My dad was in the submarine service. He was navigator on Growler, now docked in New York next to Intrepid. His older brother enlisted in the Navy in 1942, age 17, served on LSTs for two years in the Pacific, then was transferred to England in time to ferry LSTs for the D-Day landings. Was discharged in 1944, the week of his 21st birthday, having been away from home four years. They grew up fast.
Wow. That’s a lotta years away from home so young. Glad they both made it out alive. And hopefully I’ve long, happy lives. 🌈✌️❤️
Anchors aweigh my boys! Thanks to all who served this country and especially those like my father who served in the South Pacific in WWII. ❤🌈🌴🌞🌺
Thanks for sharing the love and props to your dad and all who served. 🌈❤️
What a fantastic ensemble of men willing to serve at sea for their countries. The gamut of emotions is beautiful-! Great joy, touching tenderness and deep passion you've meticulously created is so moving. My eyes and heart stopped at 3:28-3:34. This Brit is mesmerizing. The innocence of this man-boy's eyes and the obvious shoulder upper body strength is. . . for me. . . intoxicating. AGAIN - I THANK YOU!
Thank you. What a sweet shot. My guess is that was circa WWI and he knew what he was getting himself into. As best he could. I hope he made it out and thrived.
@@CollidePress I think you're exactly right about him, I wonder what sort of life he had, too.The pic of the youth at 4:15 is also magnetic for me.
Beautifully done and a fitting salute to sailors. Thank you.
Thanks, RJ. I think you're US-based, so Happy 4th!
@@CollidePress Yes. I'm in the U.S. Thank you. And you? Where are you?
Cool. We're spread across the West Coast...a virtual creative collective. :-)
I was a sailor and it was great! I was proud to serve. If anybody knows a Dan Phillips who was a Personnelman, please let me know. I need to thank him.
Thank you for your service and hope you're able to connect with your friend.
Thank you Clint for a GREAT VIDEO. Our dad enlisted in the US NAVY during 1945 thru 1978. He was an HUll technician & he was out to sea quite a bit. I WAS 20 when we had his retirement party 🎉 & the Captain 🧑✈️ ATTENDED. The Navy was good to us Baby boomers. Thanks Brian & Micheal
Thank you, gents, for sharing your family history...and cheers to your dad. So grateful for his service...what a career! 🌈✌️❤️
G'day Clint from a cold grey 🇫🇴 on General Election day. I've had to split this archive into 2 parts and seen up to start of pt2. I love that song you put in about the trials and tribulations of being 17years old 👍 Wayne Millar lived to a good old age didnt he to 93year old. I'll get back to the rest of this archive once I get back in. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴
G’day and fingers crossed for a good election result. Hope the chapters/parts are easy to navigate. Seems like a good solution for longer videos. Lemme know your thoughts. Cheers!
LOVING the salute to sailors video. Many of the photos from the Nini-Treadwell Collection and the following are from our book "LOVING A Photographic History of Men in Love 1850s - 1950s", time stamps: 1:17, 3:01, 21:30 and 34:41 Keep sharing LOVE!🥰🥰
Thank you, gents! Comment pinned for future viewers. 🌈✌️🌈
I love our navy seamen.
❤❤🫡⚓⚓🔱🔱
Narration was beautifully writren. Superb.
Why thank you. My minor in English/Creative Writing occasionally comes in handy. And helps keep the bot censors at bay...cuz "context" is key. :-)
@@CollidePress Notice that I can't spell 'written.' Sad. I proofread for Dallas Voice and my editor would be appalled.
Typos happen. Makes us human. Dallas Voice huh? Very cool!
As an American historian of the Civil War navy, its combat personnel, and the Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, and as a gay man, I especially appreciate this episode in your engaging series of gay related photos. Thanks !! I
That’s a huge compliment…thank you. You can fit my military history knowledge in a thimble, but photo and gay history I have a decent grasp of. Glad my good intentions make up for any lack of depth of the subjects. 🌈✌️
@@CollidePress Fear not. Your excellent gay montages are a delight, generally including something for every taste.
There were certainly a lot of gay relationships in the 19th century navy and merchant marine (often scantily documented in mainline media).
Once again, thanks for all your photos.
Hmmm...having stumbled across much of that, but I am always intrigued when I see navy photos from the former Soviet Union. I understand cultural differences, but I've been less publicly "friendly" with some of my long-term partners than many of these men are in photos. And thanks again for your delightful comments. Much appreciated.
Isn't it weird and bizarre that two men beating each other to death in a boxing ring is viewed as "OK," normal or acceptable "contact" -- whereas two men merely hugging or (gasp!) kissing each other drives so many Americans crazy with fear or revulsion. Senseless violence is OK but gentleness or even love is "evil." The USA is kind of nuts (as are too many other countries on Earth). Only the insanely unhappy hate to see Love happening for others.
Yeah, it’s crazy. And of course most of them who do so in the name of a creator they also claim creates us all in his image. Make it make sense.
Haters gonna hate, so love gotta celebrate. 🌈✌️
You make some incredibly good points. Thanks for that, brother!
@@berkeleyfuller-lewis3442 Amen! This is so true.
Definitely a moving piece of history!
Really well done!
Brad Davis was not only stunningly beautiful, he was a very talented actor.
Kinda surprised there were no PT-109 pics -- I remember a few.
Leaving "Mother Navy" was the worst decision of my life, but youth & stupidity sometimes goes hand-in-hand
At 30:11 are Frank McHugh, Wayne Morris and Pat O'Brien in the 1937 film, Submarine D-1.
Thanks for the ID. And for watching. 🌈✌️
👍...100% pure nostalgia!
100% thanks for watching!
Heyas Clint, I've finally caught up with rest of this archive. Some very artfully cropped beefcake studies too 😎 and lots of everyday Joe's goofing around in male/male situations, what a tease 😮 My own father was in the Royal Navy towards the end of WW11 as a young guy. He served the Atlantic convoys and then the Pacific campaigns and there were pictures of him in presumably San Diego on shore leave and I guess some young lady he saw. Who knows if he had done the deed I might have had an 🇺🇸 mom 😂 However, on UK leave he met my mum and here I am instead a fully fledge 🇫🇴🇬🇧 We didnt always get along and he died relatively young so there wasnt time to get to know him more. Enough of the soul baring. Cheers DougT 🇫🇴 BTW yup longer postings its handy to know how many chapters there are as I find 15-20 mins is my attention span but your in charge, its your call.
Your story reminds me of my own dad. He was Air Force in Thailand during Vietnam, but had a Thai fiance before he met my mom. Difficult but decent guy who also died too young. Ahhh...the circle (jerk) of life, right? 🌈❤️
Glad the chapters are helpful. Dunno why I'm veering into longer videos. Having access to such a wide variety of music (that won't cause my headaches) is part of it. I've also learned some efficiencies in the editing process. It's nice to give folks options. Watch it how you wanna. If you wanna. :-)
If you're a Steve McQueen fan, I'm working on a multi-part of him now. Wasn't that familiar, but I must say I'm a fan now. Cheers!
Wonderful!
Much appreciated. Glad you enjoyed!
Touch is one of the most important senses. For men on ships for long times, especially in war, it was only natural that they would be very sensual without necessarily being sexual. Plus before the 1950s and the rise machismo in the US, men were much more at ease being affectionate with each other.
Agreed. But to dismiss that many were sexual is definitely not accurate. Context is great but gay erasure is not.
Il faut en avoir de la bonne volonté pour supporter un commentaire si outrancier et menteur. La séparation que vous faites de façon effrontée entre sensualité et sexualité est non seulement un mensonge délibéré mais un vilain déni et une hipocrysie. Encore une fois voilà qu'on range en douce l'homosexualité dans un encadrement pathologique. Mais quelle espèce de poncif empoisonné votre commentaire alors!
Two things can be true. Please realize for some men, being touched is not necessarily sexual. But for most of us, it is. I agree the original comment is attempting to minimize how many homosexual and bisexual men have been part of navies since the beginning of time. We've always been here. We'll always be here. No matter what anyone says.
The pic on the thumbnail R resembles my great nephew's boot camp grad pic.
I saw the tall ship Sagres in the bi-centennial sail-by in New Port, RI, summer 1976. Sagres had red Maltese crosses on her sails, as I recall. The Chilean tall ship, Esmirelda, was controversial, as it was thought to have been used by the Pinochet administration as a prison, and torture venue.
Not sure which thumb you got (was testing 3 variations) but if it was the color photo on light bg, your grand newphew is stunning. As for the ship, I knew it sounded familiar so glad I included it. Yay!
@@CollidePress It would be the same as the final pic of the slide show.
Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
Ah yes, to be in the Navy !
"Honor, Courage, Commitment" for the win!
Wow!
Hopefully that's a good thing. Otherwise, I didn't do it. :-)
@@CollidePress manly giggle!!!!
What's the name of the publication?
Uh…what publication. Images are from all over, mostly found on the internet.
@@CollidePress Oh, I thought you had a new book with a collection of these images for some fund-raising or whatever.
No books for us. We do have some prints in our shop, but don't think any of the sailor stuff is in there...yet. May need to check if there's anything we can make available. Have to check rights and make sure files will make a nice print. :-)
Anchors aweigh, my boys!
