    Title is wrong, it's "driven ashore" , like the boats in the next picture.

    Thanks for the information! We’ll look into it. "Driven" makes sense.
  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Surely related to the typhoon, see next photo.
  • cgfan said:
    Please reconsider retitling this photo to spell out Japanese. The abbreviation chosen is offensive to many and reverts to the dismissive terminology used during WWII and is out of place in this day and age.

  • The Library of Congress said:
    Thanks for understanding that no offense is intended. We retain the original title of a photograph as part of preserving the historical record. The Bain News Service photo titles are available from several sources—typed in the set of caption cards consulted while making the scans, hand-written on an older set of cards, and etched on the negatives themselves. Abbreviated spellings are common, and in this case, the sources all abbreviate the word Japanese.

DAHLGREN (LOC)

    According to wikipedia: Three ships in the United States Navy have been named USS Dahlgren for John A. Dahlgren. * The USS Dahlgren (TB-9), was a torpedo boat, commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1919. * The USS Dahlgren (DD-187), was a Clemson-class destroyer commissioned in 1920, served in World War II and decommissioned in 1945. * The USS Dahlgren (DDG-43), was a Coontz-class guided missile destroyer, commissioned in 1961 and decommissioned in 1992. I assume that the boat in the LOC photo is the first choice above -- a torpedo boat commissioned in 1900 and decommissioned in 1910. That boat sure doesn't look very sturdy!

    Dahlgren appears in this list of ships from the 1912 review: www.geocities.com/scs028a/1912List.html The railings off the stern there look rather like some you see on some submarines.

    Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Buoyant, and we'd love to have this added to the group!
  • TPorter2006 said:
