Wig-wagging on SEATTLE (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    The Seattle was originally the Washington, hence the cross out I've got vertigo looking at how close he is to the edge!
  • signal mirror said:
    Despite the annotation on the card, this is semaphore flag signaling. Wig-Wag flag signaling uses a single flag. Both were practiced in this era.
  • Jon (LOC P&P) said:
    Thanks signal mirror for pointing out this error. I'll ask the catalogers to add a note correcting it. I'll also ask that we add a line to this photo and the other two you commented on, saying they are semaphore flag signaling so they will be easier for researchers to find.

View from "crows nest" SEATTLE (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    the reason the Washington is crossed out is this ship was originally the Washington. On 9 November 1916, Washington was renamed Seattle (retaining her classification as Armored Cruiser No. 11). She was simultaneously taken out of reserve and recommissioned for duty as flagship of the Destroyer Force. She was probably renamed as the was a Battleship planned named Washingtn which was later scrapped under the 1922 Naval treaty. her long story is here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Washington_(ACR-11)
