    Facinating photo...I always thought the earliest color photos were from the 1940s.
  • DCPL Commons said:
    @Rich - Good catch. These photos were colorized though a painting process. I'll get some more info and post it here.

    "USS Olympia (C-6/CA-15/CL-15/IX-40) is a protected cruiser that saw service with the United States Navy from her commissioning in 1895 until 1922. She is currently a museum ship in Philadelphia."

    "Olympia became famous as the flagship of Commodore George Dewey during the Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish–American War in 1898. The ship was decommissioned after returning to the U.S. in 1899, but was returned to active service in 1902."
