USS Kaiser Wilhelm II
(ID # 3004)

View of the ship's bow, after she was placed in Dry Dock Number Four at the New York Navy Yard, 13 June 1917. There is only a few inches of clearance between her stem and the gauge on the base of the altar at the head of the dock.
Note rivets and draft markings on the ship's hull.
This former German passenger liner was renamed Agamemnon in September 1917, shortly after she was placed in commission.
