It's probably a cruiser; it looks a bit small for a dreadnought anyway, and the all big gun nature of the armament would rule out a pre-dreadnought battleship.

Well, sadly it's not HMS King Edward VII, whose sailors we encountered before here. But similar - spot the differences ...

Actually, maybe it is a pre-dreadnought. It looks quite like HMS Goliath. Or HMS Formidable. Edit: Or indeed quite a large number of late pre-dreadnought classes. e.g. upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/65/HMS_Montagu_%...

The East Oregonian, May 17, 1917, DAILY EVENING EDITION, Image 7 printed a similar photo with the caption: "THIS GUN OF THE ST. LOUIS FOUGHT A BATTLE WITH SUBMARINE". According to the referring text, it was a gun on the American liner St. Louis, which attacked a German submarine in St. George's channel. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_St._Louis_%281894%29 "On 17 March 1917, she was furnished an armed guard of 26 United States Navy sailors and armed with three 6-inch guns, to protect her from enemy attack as she continued her New York-to-Liverpool service."
