USS Minnesotan (ID # 4545)
View looking aft from the foremast's upper lookout platform, 1919.
This view was probably taken in about March 1919, as Minnesotan was nearing completion of conversion to a troop transport.
Note the lumber piled on deck, men working on and near the temporary deckhouses in the foreground, and the unfurled name banner on the face of the ship's bridge bulwark.
