ALVINA leaving N.Y., Dec. 19, 1911 (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Cathy said:

  Based on this NY Times article -- query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F02E5DB1231E2... -- I think this is the Alvina, not Aluina.

• The Library of Congress said:

  Thanks for the information. We'll look into it.

• Richard Urban said:

  Here's another photo of the Alvina

CONNECTICUT & MAYFLOWER (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• cotinis said:

  Possibly at the Naval Review 14 October 1912 in New York, where a couple of other photos of US warships in the Bain collection were taken--see comments on photo of the Delaware, for instance. There is a Naval Historical Center page on the Mayflower: USS Mayflower (1898-1931, later PY-1) The ship has a long and fascinating history--see the Wikipedia article.

• Rob Ketcherside said:

  White text written backwards on the negative says "Conn Salutes Mayflower"

There is a Naval Historical Center page on the Mayflower: USS Mayflower (1898-1931, later PY-1, the Presidential Yacht at that time) The ship has a long and fascinating history--see the Wikipedia article.

  Looks nearly (but not quite) identical to a photo published in a 1917 book called Flags of the World; the caption there says the battleship is firing the presidential 21-gun salute.
