    Pentheny Building on King Street, Csted?
  • The Library of Congress said:
    mangoesnjam: Thanks for the suggestion! It is King Street in Christiansted, but according to photographs in the Library of Congress' Historic American Buildings Survey Collection, the building in the center is the Drewes House. (See the record in our catalog here.) Pentheny Hotel is next door on King Street, out of frame to the left. We'll update the source data to reflect this and then reload the description in Flickr.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Art is Art, and we'd love to have this added to the group! Composition, perspective, color: Art. Fave.

M-4 tank line, Ft. Knox, Ky. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • perfgeek said:
    Looks like there are more M-3's (Lee/Grant) than M-4's (Sherman) in that line.
  • borkworld said:
    The Sherman tank was also jokingly referred to as the Ronson. As in the cigarette lighter that "lights on the first strike". Their ammo storage wasn't so well protected.
  • Joyous Fnord said:
    What a great picture. Being a history fanatic, I can't help but wonder if the reaction from the populous back then regarding the switch from the M-3's to the M-4's would be comparable to today's F-22's and F-35's. Could you imagine trying to aim the whole tank instead of just the turret?
  • spotless oven said:
    There are also some M3 Stuart light tanks in the background
  • JW FHB said:
    In the mood of the day, the government was lying to the public, telling everyone that our M3s and M4s were the best tanks in the world. By the time they got into action they were ridiculously obsolete. Incredibly reliable, but garbage. Men died by the thousands in 43, 44 and early 45 because of that. It wasn't until the M26 was fielded in early 1945 that our tankers had a vehicle that could go toe to toe with the stuff the enemy had been using for years.
