USS Iowa (Battleship # 4)
Ship's officers posed on her foredeck, circa 1904 or 1905.
Lieutenant Commander William S. Benson, the Executive Officer,
is fifth from the left, in the front row.
Seated just to the right of Benson, is probably Captain Benjamin
F. Tilley, Iowa's Commanding Officer. If it is Tilley,
the photo was taken in January-August 1905.
