Wig-wagging on SEATTLE (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

Kilted Cowboy said:
The Seattle was originally the Washington, hence the cross out I've got vertigo looking at how close he is to the edge!
signal mirror said:
Despite the annotation on the card, this is semaphore flag signaling. Wig-Wag flag signaling uses a single flag. Both were practiced in this era.
Jon (LOC P&P) said:
Thanks signal mirror for pointing out this error. I'll ask the catalogers to add a note correcting it. I'll also ask that we add a line to this photo and the other two you commented on, saying they are semaphore flag signaling so they will be easier for researchers to find.

Vera Cruz -- Signal to "Chester" to bombard Naval Academy (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

bior said:
I believe this photo is related to this incident, which would time this at April, 1914: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_occupation_of_Veracruz

Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
bior: Yes, agreed! Thanks for the information. We will expand the caption information for this image, and add a date as well.

Kodaksights: Dobre zdjęcie / Dobra fotografia ! - in Polish ;)
Por donde he dejado mis huellas said:
Great photo - Wrong caption. The buildings in background do not match Veracruz ca. 1914. USS Chester attacked Naval academy early morning (8-9 am) on 22 April 1914. One of the men seems to be looking for planes. There were no planes flying over Veracruz on that date.

The device on the bridge to the left of the sailor holding the hand-flags is a mechanical semaphore.
