    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called artland, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • Sam said:
    I'm fairly certain that the fish is not a Bonita. It looks to me like it could be a Yellowtail.
  • Florida Memory said:
    Thanks for the contribution, samuelito5277, and thanks for visiting the Florida Memory photostream. The historical record has been changed to reflect the new information. After additional research, we determined that the fish is indeed not a Bonito. It is probably a Greater Amberjack, a species related to the Yellowtail, but found in the Atlantic.
  • Sam said:
    Yes, I forgot that Yellowtail weren't an Atlantic fish. Thanks for changing it! This photostream is fantastic. Definitely worth more than a quick click through...

SALEM, GRAYLING, TARPON, OCTOPUS, BONITA, and NEBRASKA (LOC)

    Tarpon, Octopus, and Bonita were C class subs, Grayling was D class. All were renamed on 17 November 1911 so this photo may have been taken prior to that date. I can't find a "Salem" but I wonder if that's really the Salmon, another D class. Subs were all named for fish at the time so "Salem" seems unlikely. Salmon was commissioned in Sept 1910 so that helps to further date the photo. The photo was probably taken at Newport, Rhode Island, as that's where all these subs operated out of. Source: Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships, via wikipedia.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for the information and your source! The "Salmon" name makes sense given the other sub names. This negative is visually very similar to a negative dated Oct. 28, 1911, showing a naval review in NYC, www.flickr.com/photos/library_of_congress/2163790702/.

    The names are painted on the sides of the vessels, but there isn't enough resolution in the scans (or perhaps the original negative) to be able to read them.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    perfgeek: Try looking at the higher resolution version (tiff file) available at the persistent URL listed in the description.

    Are those towers in the background on ships?

    Did this natural gas engine have spark plugs? These were the days before a third brake light and antilock brakes were required on buses. Modern buses don't usually have a rear window.
