Testing guns at the firing range, Silloth

Still waiting for your write up as I say this but.. were the guns 'proven' on Tyneside or taken elsewhere for testing? I can't imagine huge bangs along the river! Mind, stranger things happened..

Hi [https://www.flickr.com/photos/flyeye] this one was taken at Silloth-on-Solway, although Ridsdale in Northumberland was also frequently used.

Another great industrial image. Some of the worlds greatest battleships were built at Elswick.

Saluting Pres't at Naval Review (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Mr.TinMD said:
Looks like a "scout cruiser" of the Chester class, so either USS Chester CL-1, USS Birmingham CL-2, or USS Salem CL-3. They were launched in 1907, and ultimately scrapped in 1930.
perfgeek said:
Given how often Wikipedia claims Salem was in and out of commission, and a lack of mention of participating in reviews in their description of Birmingham that would seem to suggest Chester herself.
perfgeek said:
But then a little more googling finds: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html which lists all three of them :)
