CONNECTICUT & MAYFLOWER (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

    Possibly at the Naval Review 14 October 1912 in New York, where a couple of other photos of US warships in the Bain collection were taken--see comments on photo of the Delaware, for instance. There is a Naval Historical Center page on the Mayflower: USS Mayflower (1898-1931, later PY-1) The ship has a long and fascinating history--see the Wikipedia article.

    White text written backwards on the negative says "Conn Salutes Mayflower"

Coaling "Louisiana", 4/16/14 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    coaling was a thankless, ever ending filthy job that covered the ships in a fine lack dust every time. You can see it on their clothes already here.

    Richard Arthur Norton: Thank you for the information on the USS Louisiana. We will include some of it in the image description when we update.

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-...
  • Anne (LOC P&P) said:
    B-59: Thanks for pointing out the complete date. We will fix this next time we update.
