    Interesting that there is no English Wikipedia article on him. In 1920, he was the Allied Commissioner for Armenian Relief: "HASKELL TO DIRECT RELIEF IN RUSSIA; Former Allied Commissioner in Armenia Will Leave Here on His Mission at Once. CHECKS ON RELIEF FOOD Kitchens Will Insure That Only Those It Is Intended For Will Get It. RIGA, Aug. 21.--Colonel William N. Haskell, who directed relief in Armenia, has been appointed to supervise the famine relief work of the American Relief Administration in Russia. It is announced that he will leave the United States for Russia immediately." NYT, August 22, 1921. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9804E6DF143EEE... His grave at West Point: www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=52603165

    Built for the Argentine navy. Named for Bernardino Rivadavia the first (and later, exiled) president of Argentina. Built in the USA, at the Fore River Shipbuilding Yards at Quincy, Massachusetts. Launched August 26, 1911. For awhile the Rivadavia was the largest battleship in the world: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9D04E5DE163CE633A... Commissioned by the Argentine Navy in 1914, it lasted 42 years. Sold for scrap in 1956: www.maritimequest.com/warship_directory/argentina/pages/r...

    I don't think the ship is under construction in this photo. It is completely outfitted with guns, lattice mast, lifeboats, etc. all of which would normally have been added after the launching of the hull, i.e. with the ship afloat. The ship appears to be in a drydock (Brooklyn Navy Yard?) for repairs or modifications. The riveted stern plates show signs of repeated impact and/or corrosion.
  • Wystan said:
    @technogeo -- your deductions appear to be sound, and they square better with the position of the undated photo being here in Bain's 1913 photostream, not in the 1911 group.
  • Ryan (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks to both of you for your great research. I'd like the discussion to continue, but wanted to point out another image of the ship in our collection. It's a panoramic photo taken in 1914. The title is: La tripulacion del Aroragado [sic] "Rivadavia" a' su llegada al arsenal de Charlestown, Mass., U.S.A., 24ch Agosto de 1914. The warehouse buildings on the left of the panorama look the same as those in this Bain photo.

    Exelente foto del Rivadavia. En la foto aparentemente se le esta realizando mantenimiento, porque creo que en essa epoca Argentina no contaba con los diques secos (Dry Docks) para estos buques. Hector, Buenos Aires
