Check out this great photo of the USS Bremerton visiting its namesake city on Oct. 4, 1986. 

Kitsap Sun photojournalist Meegan M. Reid came across an actual print of this photo (which is a rare find) while getting the many boxes of film archives of the Sun ready for an office move. 

Back in the day, every image that was in the paper was printed in the darkroom before it went to press, and while the Sun has an extensive collection of sports prints from those eras (since the sports editors thankfully insisted on filing them away for later use) the news photo prints were put in a box at the receptionist’s desk after they were used in the paper and anyone who came into the building could take whatever photo they liked home. 

We’re betting this print never made it to that front-desk box because who wouldn’t have wanted to take this one home to hang on the wall?!?!?
