    May 27, 1905 - Japanese Adm. Togo decimated the Russian Baltic Fleet in the Korean Strait (Strait of Tsushima). Russia capitulated. This was the first war in which the yellow race defeated the white race since the days of the Mongols

    He looks really tired

    ^ He's just resting his eyes.

    Actually, I've just read that within Japanese culture today a person appearing to be asleep when a lecturer or presenter is speaking can signify confiednce in the speaker. I wonder if that applies to this pic of Admiral Togo.
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    This photo was taken on August 15, 1911. Togo is riding in the back of the car in this photo. This was taken at the Brooklyn Naval Yard just before or after he toured the dreadnought North Dakota. This was the beginning of a two week tour of seaports between Washington and Boston. Note that this is not in West Point. The car there only had three steel supports on the canopy.

DIANA - Arctic expedition, just before sailing [MacMillan's ship], July 2, 1913 (LOC)

    Wikipedia has this to say about the Crocker Land Expedition: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crocker_Land_Expedition, which was led by Donald Macmillan: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Baxter_MacMillan
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    I love how the supplies were run down the dock on rail trucks. There's a delivery horse+buggy for Sozodont, a mouth wash. Wonder how long the members of the expedition were worried about their breath. The links @amphalon provided describe just how treachorous the trip was. They seem to have been a bit fanciful in their choice of supplies. Anyone know why the flag atop the center mast says "DIIN"?
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    Compare the photo to one taken of the construction of the Battleship New York. The building on the right of both photos is the same. I guess that in this photo, we are looking across at the construction site of the New York? (a year after the New York was completed)

    Flag atop the center mast says "Diana," the name of the ship.

    Woops, you're right!
