SS Herbert L. Pratt
(American tanker, 1918)

Hull damage sustained when the ship struck a mine on 3 June 1918.
Photographed while drydocked at the Philadelphia Navy Yard on 12 June 1918. Though clearly only in the earliest stages of repairs, she had been placed in commission as USS Herbert L. Pratt (ID # 2339) two days earlier.
Note men in skiff by the damaged area, and hull plating with holes from sheared rivets.
