From the Wikipedia article
The Bounding Billow was a sailor-written newspaper published aboard the USS Olympia from 1897 to 1898. Although it has received little scholarly attention, the newspaper documented key historical events in the Spanish–American War (April 25, 1898 – August 12, 1898), as well as cultural aspects of life in the U.S. Navy

Background
Description
The Bounding Billow was a small-circulation newspaper edited by, and aimed at, American sailors aboard the USS Olympia, a Navy warship stationed in the Pacific during the Spanish–American War. Apprentice Seaman Louis Stanley Young (1877-1949), a former printer, created and edited the paper aboard the warship from November 1897 to the end of 1898. The paper ran for seven issues, produced at irregular intervals in one of the torpedo rooms aboard the ship while the soldiers were stationed in locations in the Pacific, including Nagasaki, Yokohama, Hong Kong, and Manila.
