WYOMING from Brooklyn Bridge (LOC)

    I believe this is of the same class of BB ships like the USS Texas so that would probably put this around 1914, plus or minus a few years.

    excellent pic! -- Seen on your photo stream. (?)
  • Rob Ketcherside said:
    This immediately precedes another photo, of the stern. Looks like it's headed towards the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard (NYNSY), which is visible in the shot of the stern. Likely this is October 6, 1912. The Wikipedia article indicates the Wyoming was completed in Philadelphia and then went to the Brooklyn Naval Shipyard for fitting-out on that date. It could be from another year up to 1916, though, perhaps all coming-to-ports by battleships were greeted this way. The Wyoming visited Brooklyn Naval Shipyard several times.

    Wyoming BB-32, had one sister ship, the USS Arkansas BB-33, Texas was BB-35, the second of the New York class. It's interesting, the tug just to the left of the mast is steaming furiously with a large smokestack plume, in the stern photo you can see it has caught up with the other 3 and has a much bigger wake.

    Commander Quevedo was representing Cuba at the dedication of the Maine Monument. He commanded the vessel "Cuba"
  • Kristi (LOC P&P) said:
    Cynthia Wenslow: Thank you for the additional information on Comm. Quevedo! We've also learned more about Adm. Badger, so the descriptive information can be expanded when we update our source record.

  • Art Siegel said:
    George McAneny, president of the New York City Board of Alderman from 1914-1916, was Acting Mayor during the Atlantic Fleet and Naval Review activities of May, 1915. findingaids.princeton.edu/getEad?eadid=MC091&kw= select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F30D17FA385C1373... The Wyoming was the flagship of the Fleet, under the command of Admiral Frank F. Fletcher. Here, Acting Mayor George McAneny, his secretary Theodore Rousseau, and Docks Commissioner R.A.C. Smith leave the police boat Patrol to welcome the Admiral on the morning of May 8, 1915.
