Transfer of 8" shells, League Isl'd. (LOC)

  • Mr.TinMD said:
    The ship appears to be the armored cruiser USS Brooklyn (CA-3), judging by the three tall, thin funnels, and the barely visible name on the stern. The Brooklyn also had a main armament of 8x8" guns, so the 8" shells were probably being added to or removed from her magazines.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you for the information about the ship. We will add the information to our source data and reload the description.
