    Great Great
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Wystan, Thanks for your efforts with the numerous photographs which document the National Memorial Service of May 11, 1914. We will be able to better link the related images and expand the descriptions, including the addition of a date where one is not yet included. Here we will also add the full names and titles of Secretary Daniels and Governor Glynn.

Launching of TEXAS - Secy Meyer [and] Claudia Lyon (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Ellie Baker said:
    This was taken at USS Texas's launching ceremony on 18 May 1912 at Newport News, Virginia.
  • Charley Seavey said:
    Secretary Meyer is George Von Lengerke Meyer. As SecNav he had a major role in overhauling the antiquated structure of the navy. See Patrician in the progressive era : a biography of George Von Lengerke Meyer, by Wayne Wiegand, for an excellent biography.
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    bellhalla and desert11sailor: Thanks to both of you for providing more details on the events taking place in this photograph. We will add to the descriptive information. There is an interesting article in the May 18, 1912 edition of the New York Times about this event here, which also includes information on the apparently controversial choice of choosing Miss Claudia Lyon to do the honors. She was the daughter of Cecil Lyon, an active opponent of then President Taft.
