1968 Press Photo Astronaut Walter Schirra in Galveston Bay - pip08661

Capt. Walter Schirra (astronaut) (as skipper). Although Capt. Wally Schirra won his rank not on the seas but in the air, his hobby is strictly old-style Navy. Before this month's Apollo mission became a fulltime job his weekend pastime was sailing his sloop "Count Down" on Galveston Bay. Crew is provided by the Schirra family.

Photo is dated 1968.
