Annapolis, 1913 (LOC)

    Bancroft Hall, U.S. Naval Academy. See hdl.loc.gov/loc.pnp/pan.6a33105 for a 1919 photo.

    The date 6/3/13 is also visible on the plate.

    On June 4, 1913, the next day, the Wyoming would be in town, immediately after leading the fleet for the celebrations associated with unveiling the Maine Monument.. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Wyoming_(BB-32) "Shifting to Annapolis, Maryland on 4 June, Wyoming embarked a contingent of United States Naval Academy midshipmen and took the young officers-to-be on a summer cruise off the coast of New England that lasted into late August." Although the Naval Academy commissioning (graduation) ceremonies are now usually in late May, dates I found for 1912 and 1918 were in the first week in June. So this is probably a crowd of family and friends waiting for some part of the festivities.

Figurehead, Battleship FRANKLIN, 1819 (LOC)

  • swanq said:
    artbypudewa.com/Nautical Figureheads.html This article by Pam Pudewa, "Nautical Figureheads as Art", mentions a figurehead of Benjamin Franklin by William Rush. Page 180 of A Walk in the Yard: A Self-guided Tour of the U.S. Naval Academy books.google.com/books?id=fcOHjVRueZAC&pg=PA180&l... suggests that the statue is at the Naval Academy.

    Built in 1815 under the supervision of Samuel Humphreys and Charles Penrose, she was the first vessel to be laid down at the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Franklin sailed on her first cruise on 14 October 1817, when under the command of Master Commandant H. E. Ballard she proceeded from Philadelphia to the Mediterranean. She carried the Hon. Richard Rush, U.S. Minister to England, to his post. Subsequently she was designated flagship of the Mediterranean Squadron, cruising on that station until March 1820. She returned to New York City on 24 April 1820. From 11 October 1821 until 29 August 1824 she served as flagship on the Pacific Squadron. Franklin was laid up in ordinary until the summer of 1843 when she was ordered to Boston as a receiving ship. She continued in this capacity until 1852 at which time she was taken to Portsmouth, New Hampshire, razed and broken up. Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Franklin_(1815)
