Miss Goodrich breaking bottle and naming collier "Vestal", Brooklyn, N.Y. (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • TVL1970 said:
    As stated in the caption, USS Vestal (AR-4), would serve in both World Wars. Remarkably, she was moored alongside USS Arizona (BB-39), in Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, during the Japanese sneak attack on the base and other military installations around Oahu. She and her crew performed admirably in the face of the attack and the utter destruction rained down upon her and Arizona.

  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    I was looking of information on William J. Baxter in newspaper articles and found one from April 11, 1908 in the Washington Post that said he had been informed that a dog that bit him at the Navy Yard had tested positive for rabies and he would have to undergo treatment.
