USS Oklahoma (Battleship # 37)
Escorting USS George Washington (ID # 3018), with President
Woodrow Wilson on board, as she passed the Hook and entered New
York Harbor, July 1919. A Navy blimp is flying overhead, at far
right.
George Washington is the large ship in the right distance.
Note: The original caption gives the date as 11 July 1919. However,
the photograph was probably taken on 8 July, the day George
Washington arrived at New Work at the end of the President's
second European trip.
