Building battleship - NEW YORK (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • aware health said:
    According to Wiki, the keel of this ship was laid on Sept. 11, 1911; depending on the speed of shipbuilding back then, I'd guess this picture to be taken in early 1912.
  • Joe said:
    The battleship New York was launched in 1912, commissioned in 1914, and decommissioned in 1946. After service in both World Wars, she was sunk as a target off Oahu on July 8, 1948. MaritimeQuest has seven pages of photos of the New York, starting here. This photo is among them. There's also a link there to a page of builder's data.

UTAH at Brooklyn Navy Yard (LOC)

    She now sits on the bottom of Pearl Harbor.

    Dated 9/12/11 on the right side of the slide. The same date as the LC photo of the USS New York keel laying which was also in Brooklyn Naval Yard. According to the Wikipedia article for this ship, it was commissioned on Aug 31, 1911, just teslve dayes earlier in Philadelphia. Perhaps, like the Wyoming, it went from Philadelphia to New York for "fitting-out"? Second down on this Naval History page is a photo of USS Utah in 1911 in New York Harbor for "fleet review".
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    The crane-bearing barge in the foreground, numbered B7, appears to be named ALPHA across the stern.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks! We'll fix the date in the source data and reload the description.
