The ship appears to be the armored cruiser USS Brooklyn (CA-3), judging by the three tall, thin funnels, and the barely visible name on the stern. The Brooklyn also had a main armament of 8x8" guns, so the 8" shells were probably being added to or removed from her magazines.

In the uncompressed archival TIFF version of this photo, "B_OOKL_N" (missing the R and Y) is readable on the stern.

no question about what ship it is, it's the one of a kind Uss Brooklyn (1896-1922). no other Us ship had such a shapely design, with the tumble down sides and conter protruding sponsoons. and those give away 100 foot of the deck stacks, no other ship even came close close i t he us navy to her artistic beuty, all the other where utilitarian at best, if not down right ugly. she was built along french designs, and was the epitome of effiency,speed, beauty and power on the open seas in her day. " they don't make em like that anymore".

The ship in the background appears to be the armored cruiser USS New York. Nice shot of the Brooklyn! Hope to see more naval/nautical-themed photos in your collection posted.

My grandfather served on the USS Brooklynn during WW1 and was deployed to Vladivostok, USSR. I have several photo/postcards of the ship and men during his deployment. If there is any interest , I will get some decent scans and upload them.

DavelnTx: It would be great if you could upload those images on Flickr; I'm sure they'd be of interest to the Naval History group: www.flickr.com/groups/navalhistory/ The Brooklyn, in my opinion, was one of the coolest-looking US naval vessels ever. Too bad she wasn't preserved like (or instead of!) the Olympia...

DaveInTx dave; I am very much interested in any pics of the Brooklyn in WWI, the Vladivostok period was a nearly forgotten end of WWI incident with the arch angel port and the US and others trying to support the Czar in there Revolution. I would like to see any pictures of the Brooklyn especially.
