Seen from almost directly ahead on 13 April 1917, while being
moved off Samoa Beach to Humboldt Bay, near Eureka, California,
during salvage operations by the Mercer-Fraser Company.

Note the wooden runners laid across the sand to provide a track
for rolling the submarine.
H-3's rotating bow cap has been turned to expose two of
her torpedo tube muzzles.
