Pearl Harbor, Hawaii Territory
View taken circa 1922 or somewhat later, looking toward 1010
Dock from Ford Island.
Among the minesweepers laid up at left (by the big crane) are
USS Oriole (AM-7), USS Pigeon (AM-47) and USS Pelican
(AM-27). "Hog Island" type freighter in right center
is probably USS Procyon (AG-11), flagship of the Battle
Fleet's Base Force. Immediately to left of her is a fleet tug,
hauled out on the Navy Yard Marine Railway.
