This ship was an armored cruiser,a type intended to have the speed of a cruiser, with armor and firepower superior to a cruiser's, but inferior to that of a battleship.

the elegent and deadly flagship of commodore Schley'f famed "Flying Squadron" of the spanish American war, on her return to New york harbor on 20 aug 1898 for a victory parade. the epitome of the femme fatal of fighting ships, and the most beautiful steel warship to ever wave the american flag. a one of a kind floating work of art, that even while a dock seemed to be in motion. the spanish naval captains feared the brooklyn over themore powerful but sluggish battleships. and with only one of her two engines running, the spanish squadron at santiago wa unable to outrun this greyhound of the seas. 4 spainish cruisers attacked the brooklyn, and tried to flee her murderous rain of firepower to no avail. was a ship.

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"
