SS Herbert L. Pratt (American tanker, 1918)
Under salvage after hitting a mine, June 1918.
By the time this view was taken buoyancy had been restored to
the ship's forward section and she had raised steam in preparation
for going to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for repairs. Note the
diagonal line on her hull, sloping down and aft from the quarterdeck
break, representing the degree to which her bow had been submerged.
Collection of Chief Warrant Officer J.B. Dofflemeyer, 1972.
