USS Seattle (Armored Cruiser # 11, ex-Washington)
Halftone reproduction of a photograph looking over the ship's
port superstructure, amidships, while she was coaling from barges
alongside on 9 July 1918. It was published in 1919 as one of
ten images in a "Souvenir Folder" concerning USS Seattle.
Note coaling booms rigged out over the ship's side, and the long
extension on her boat crane, fitted to assist in aircraft handling
when the ship was equipped with a catapult in 1917.
