Midships of Russian battleship CZAREVITCH (i.e., Tsesarevich) (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• FrigateRN said:

  A nice 'close in' shot, very interesting picture of the old ship, thank you for sharing.

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  The Tsesarevich (Цесаревич) was a battleship of the Imperial Russian Navy, built in France by Compagnie des Forges et Chantiers de la Méditerranée à la Seine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_battleship_Tsesarevich

Japanese training ship Soya anchored in Vancouver

• TVL1970 said:

  The Imperial Japanese Navy protected cruiser IJN Soya. As suggested in the handwritten caption, this ship is the former Russian Navy warship Varyag, captured during the Russo-Japanese War. IJN Soya (ex- Varyag) would later be returned to Russia in 1916, and once more sail under her original name. See: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_cruiser_Soya en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_cruiser_Varyag_(1899)

The Tsar[e]vitch alongside 5th [...] Jetty (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for help with spellings and also spotting the photographer's name.

• Dendroica cerulea said:

  Probably this battleship.

• Black and white archive said:

  We can still argue over the spelling. According to the OED it's either Tsarevich (no T in the middle) or Tsarewitch (W with a T).

• Jim Rees said:

  Except that the Russian spelling is apparently Цесаревич, which transliterates more closely as Tsesarevich.

• FrigateRN said:

  Never mind the spelling, it's a great old photograph, thank you for sharing.
