ussbaltimorec3

an early cruiser of the new navy of the united states, which started in the mid 1880s. baltimore was a high sided ship, unlike most of the earlier steel new navy ships that resembled wooden and iron sailing ships. the baltimore was the second largest ship and in line of battle with Commodore Dewey at the battle of mainla bay in may of 1898. She was even present as a former recieving ship at pearl harbor on the morning of Dec 7th 1941, and can be seen in the disance in a few photos of the damaged ships in port..

You seem to have spelling errors in both the title and in your text - it should read BALTIMORE, like your tags do.

Thanks! We will fix it right away.

Between May 8 and May 10, 1919. See www.aviation-history.com/navy/nc4.html www.navsource.org/archives/04/c3/c3.htm indicates that this was alongside the USS Baltimore and was on May 8, 1919

The hulk of USS Baltimore was recently discovered at about 600 meters (1,970 feet) depth, upright and intact on the flat sandy bottom of the Musicians Seamounts, northwest of Oahu. It was there where she was towed out to sea and scuttled on September 22, 1944, after a long and varied career with the US Navy. Baltimore was even present at Pearl Harbor, serving as a receiving ship, during the surprise attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) on December 7, 1941. Below is a link to high-definition video of her hulk taken by one of NOAAS Okeanos Explorer's (R 337) remotely operated vehicles (ROV), on September 29, 2017. She is in relatively good shape considering her age and the 70-plus years spent on the ocean floor. Note also the footage of her distinctive stern opening (added to the ship when she was fitted for mine-laying), that is also apparent in this series of Bain photos of the NC flying boats' stopover in Nova Scotia. oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/okeanos/explorations/ex1708/dailyu...
