    Picture was taken on May 25, 1911. www.glasglow.com/e2/us/USS_Wyoming_(BB-32).html: USS Wyoming (BB-32), the lead ship of her class of battleship was the third ship of the United States Navy named in honor of the 44th state. Her keel was laid down on 9 February 1910, at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, by William Cramp and Sons. She was launched on 25 May 1911, sponsored by Miss Dorothy Eunice Knight, the daughter of former Chief Justice Jesse Knight of the Wyoming Supreme Court. The ship saw service in WWI and WWII, and was scrapped in 1947.

    Picture taken September, 1912 in Philadelphia, PA. She was also photographed with Wyoming's just-elected governor, J.M. Casey and his wife and a relative of his. The large, riveted metal piece in the background is the battleship's prow.
