Argentine Battleship, 12/2/12 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • cotinis said:
    Aha! See this page on Battleship Moreno. Clearly this is one of the Rivadavia class battleships, of which only two were built, the Moreno, or the Rivadavia, I presume. Quoting, briefly, from that site: Laid down on July 9, 1910, launched on June 28, 1911 and commissioned in December 1914, Moreno carried a main armament of twelve 12 inch main guns mounted two per turret. Two superfiring turrets were on the centerline both fore and aft and there was one wing turret per side that could fire both fore and aft and to both sides. An article in the New York Times about Moreno is here. Wikipedia article about Rivadavia class--uses this photo, so it appears this is no big news!
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    It appears that one was launched from Quincy, MA, per NYTimes: "QUINCY, Mass., Aug. 26. -- The biggest battleship in the world was launched at the Fore River Shipbuilding Yards here to-day. The vessel in question is the Rivadavia, and when she is finished about a year hence she will steam south to become the principal unit in the fighting fleet of the Argentine Republic. " (8/27/1911)

    Above photo shows the Rivadavia moored at Quincy shipyard for some finishing touches, over a year after launch in August, 1911. The photo is dated Dec. 2, 1912. The ship was commissioned by the Argentine Navy in 1914, and sold for scrap in 1956: www.maritimequest.com/warship_directory/argentina/pages/r... A 1911 Bain/LOC photo of the Rivadavia shows it at sea after launch, but before completion: Another photo of the Rivadavia moored at Quincy for finishing touches -- photo is dated Dec. 2, 1912: Two photos of the Rivadavia being refurbished in dry dock at Charlestown, Mass., in 1913:
