  • edjdonnell said:
    an early cruiser of the new navy of the united states, which started in the mid 1880s. baltimore was a high sided ship, unlike most of the earlier steel new navy ships that resembled wooden and iron sailing ships. the baltimore was the second largest ship and in line of battle with Commodore Dewey at the battle of mainla bay in may of 1898. She was even present as a former recieving ship at pearl harbor on the morning of Dec 7th 1941, and can be seen in the disance in a few photos of the damaged ships in port..

    You seem to have spelling errors in both the title and in your text - it should read BALTIMORE, like your tags do.

    Thanks! We will fix it right away.

Transfer of 8" shells, League Isl'd. (LOC)

  • Mr.TinMD said:
    The ship appears to be the armored cruiser USS Brooklyn (CA-3), judging by the three tall, thin funnels, and the barely visible name on the stern. The Brooklyn also had a main armament of 8x8" guns, so the 8" shells were probably being added to or removed from her magazines.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thank you for the information about the ship. We will add the information to our source data and reload the description.
