    photo says reserves leaving Washington, this ship would be renamed Seattle

War game - Range finding on WASHINGTON, "Seattle" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

  • aware health said:
    At the left, as on several other photos, someone lined through "WASHINGTON" and wrote "SEATTLE."
  • Kilted Cowboy said:
    The Seattle was originally the Washington

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.
