USS Memphis (Armored Cruiser # 10)
Wrecked at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where she was thrown
ashore by tidal waves on the afternoon of 29 August 1916.
This view probably was taken early on 30 August, as the ship
appears to be abandoned. Note the anchor chain running seaward
from her starboard bow.
