Photo #: NH 93088

USS Maumee
(Fuel Ship # 14, later AO-2)

Photographed circa 1917 in her original configuration with the bridge near the bow.
The unusually small smokestack is for her early-model Diesel engines. In both this ship and her near sister Kanawha the bridge soon had to be moved aft of the foremast.

Collection of Hubert C. Rickert.
