S.S. Saint Louis (American Passenger Liner, 1895)
Fine screen halftone reproduction of a photograph, published
in 1898 at the time of the Spanish-American War. It was probably
taken at the time of her completion, circa 1895, while Saint
Louis was off the shipyard of her builder, the William Cramp
& Sons Ship and Engine Building Company, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
This ship was USS Saint Louis in 1898 and USS Louisville
(ID # 1644) in 1918-1919.
The ship fitting out in the left background is either USS Indiana
(Battleship # 1) or USS Massachusetts (Battleship # 2),
both of which were built by Cramp.
