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.
