    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.

    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. ..."
