USS Kaiser Wilhelm II (ID # 3004)
Drawing by Vernon Howe Bailey, 1917, depicting the ship in drydock
at the New York Navy Yard in the Summer of 1917, while she was
being refitted for U.S. Navy service. This view shows the ship's
stern, with her rudder and port side propeller. The rudder is
sharply turned to clear the dry dock caisson.
Commissioned in August 1917, Kaiser Wilhelm II was soon
renamed Agamemnon.
