USS Capella (AK-13)
At the New York Navy Yard on 26 September 1922 loading an Army

The Merritt and Chapman derrick Monarch has lifted the
gun clear of the Moran Towing and Transportation Co. barge No.
30. USS Maryland (BB-46) is across the pier. The crane
between the two ships is probably moving along rails on the pier.
