Photograph of the shipyard's waterfront, showing warships fitting
out circa mid-1904, published on a color-tinted postal card by
the Detroit Publishing Company.
USS Virginia (Battleship # 13) is in the foreground. Those
in the left background are USS West Virginia (Armored
Cruiser # 5) and USS Maryland (Armored Cruiser # 8), one
with four smokestacks installed and the other with three.
Note the large number of sailing vessels in the right distance,
and the message (dated 15 October 1906) written in the card's
margins.
