Visitors on board the CONNECTICUT 10/11 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• cotinis said:

  Seems the "10/11" might refer to October 11. Perhaps this was just before the naval review in New York on 14 October 1912, where a couple of other photos of warships from the Bain collection were taken. Perhaps! (Another commenter on this series mentioned a similar review in October 1911.)

• B-59 said:

  The original caption is 10/27/11. The warships were assembled for the great naval review on Thursday, November 2, 1911, s. The evening world., October 28, 1911, Final Edition, Image 1 chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn83030193/1911-10-28/ed-...

  B-59: Thanks for pointing out the complete date. We will fix this next time we update.
