USS Maryland (Armored Cruiser # 8)
Target kite being prepared for streaming from the ship's after
deck, circa 1912.
Another kite is lying on the deck, to the right. What appears
to be a Colt machine gun is mounted on the hatch beyond, with
several Sailors around it, probably preparing to shoot at the
kite.
Note the Marine standing by, with his hands in his pockets.
