  From Wikipedia: Lattice masts, or cage masts, are a type of observation mast common on major warships in the early 20th century. They were used most prominently on American dreadnought battleships and armored cruisers of the World War I era. Their purpose was to make the observation posts mounted on the masts and used to direct the fire of the warships' guns less vulnerable to shells from enemy ships. These masts remind me of Chinese finger traps.

  The ship in the background is the frigate Granite State, originally USS New Hampshire (1864). en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_New_Hampshire_%281864%29 See article in The New York Times, November 2, 1915 "NAMES FLYING BOAT FOR NAVAL MILITIA"

  Thanks B-59. We will add the name of this ship to the description when we update.
