    Love looking at old navy ships.
  • National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:
    Gerard Knight I love looking at the sailors! No doubt this will lead to sniggering from some of you (you know who you are!), but look at the nonchalant leaning, the smoking, the chatting... And look at the guy in the middle on Boat 63 who's been captured in the act of drinking from a huge metal container!

    An example of a photograph snatching a moment from the distant past.

    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.
