    That would be Minas Geraes - I believe the "A" looks like an "R" in this photo of the Brazilian battleship by that name.

    Yeah, nice boat, but . . . the old Colgate factory in Jersey City is in the background. The original (1906) Colgate clock is barely visible. It was replaced w/ the current Colgate clock in 1924. The 1906 clock was moved to a factory in Indiana and is still standing ticking.

    "... on 15 July (1920) Minas Geraes departed for New York for its own refit. Beginning on 22 August, the day it arrived, and finishing on 4 October 1921, the battleship was dramatically modernized, with Sperry fire-control equipment and Bausch and Lomb range-finders for the two superfiring turrets fore and aft. ..."

    Minas Geraes, or Minas Gerais is a Brazilian state.

    Minas Gerais também foi o nome escolhido para um dos navios brasileiros do início do século XX.

    Brazilian battleship commissioned in 1910 and not struck until the end of 1952. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilian_battleship_Minas_Geraes
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Everyone: Thank you for your comments! While Minas Geraes was the name of this ship and so should remain the spelling in the caption, it makes sense to add the modern spelling of Minas Gerais to the record for those searching by that term. We'll add that when we update the record.

    The strange is that the real name of the State is "Minas Gerais", with "i", but that's the name of the ship. I realy don't know if the name of the ship is realy "Minas Geraes" or "Minas Gerais". I'll try to find that.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    D. Pineze: It is a little strange, but it turns out that 'Minas Geraes' was the spelling used at the time the ship was commissioned. Many references to that spelling can be found in newspapers of the time, and in other sources. The modern spelling is Gerais, as you pointed out, but Geraes is correct when referring to this ship. Here is one example article about the Minas Geraes from the New York Times in 1908. Thanks for your comment!
  • Reges Pineze said:
    Yah... i can imagine the spelling and "Geraes" make sense. It was just a curiosity to find something diferent that i saw... but its perfect. A little charm in the history... rsrsrs. Thanks to this answer coment.
  • Marcelo Taube said:
    Another curiosity is that Minas Gerais is a state that has no connection to the sea! So it's sort of ironic to call a ship with this name!

    A similar photo appeared in The Sunday Oregonian, July 13, 1913, SECTION FIVE, Image 59 with the caption: "The Minas Geraes, which brought Dr. Muller. the Premier of Brazil, to this country, is one of two Dreadnoughts owned by Brazil. Another much larger is now building. The Minas Geraes and her sister ship, the Sao Paolo, are of 19,281 tons displacement. She car ries 12 12-inch guns and 22 of 4.7 Inches. Her horsepower is 23.500, and she can make 21 knots an hour." oregonnews.uoregon.edu/lccn/sn83045782/1913-07-13/ed-1/se...
