  St. Charles Avenue streetcar. Earlier NARA gif upload gives date of July 1972. I'm an admin for a group called Uptown New Orleans, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

  This and the following 9 photos are from the ceremony on Decoration Day/Memorial Day, May 30, 1917, for the handover, by New York to the Navy and Marines, of the now-completed model battleship/recruiting station U.S.S. Recruit in Union Square. Mayor Mitchel turned the ship over to Vice Admiral Usher, who then turned command over to Commander C. A. Adams. query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9F03EED7123AE4...
