S.S. Ransom B. Fuller (American river steamer, 1902)
Shown on the Kennebec River, Maine, probably soon after entering
service in 1902.
The postcard bearing this image was postmarked at Cardiner, Maine,
(probably Gardiner, a town on the Kennebec south of Augusta)
on 8 August 1910. This vessel was acquired by the Navy in November
1917 for use as a barracks ship at New London, Connecticut, but
was returned to her owner in April 1918.
Donation of Captain Stephen S. Roberts, USNR (Retired), 2008.
