Photo #: NH 52032-KN (color)

USS Kearsarge (Battleship # 5)

Postal card published circa the 19-"teens", featuring a retouched and color-tinted photograph taken off New York City during the October 1912 naval review.
Colors applied to the ship's smokestacks and guns are quite inaccurate. In 1912 these would have been grey, not "buff".
