    According to wikipedia: Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Dahlgren for John A. Dahlgren. * The USS Dahlgren (TB-9), was a torpedo boat, commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. * The USS Dahlgren (DD-187), was a Clemson-class destroyer commissioned in 1920, served in World War II and decommissioned in 1945. * The USS Dahlgren (DDG-43), was a Coontz-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1961 and decommissioned in 1992. I assume that the boat in the LOC photo is the first choice above -- a torpedo boat commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1910. That boat sure doesn't look very sturdy!

    Dahlgren appears in this list of ships from the 1912 review: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html The railings off the stern there look rather like some you see on some submarines.

  • Syl_au said:
    wowww, so all of these have been coloured in photoshop? it must of been a very painstaking job for someone. I wondered why all seemed taken at sunset, heh. I don't think its overdone.

    It is not altered in photoshop. It is a photochrom: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photochrom

    A great photo, but also very sad. But it also reminds me that I need to digitize the slides from my whale watching trip.
