Photo #: NH 104505
Honolulu, Hawaii Territory
Panoramic photograph, showing Pacific Fleet armored cruisers
tied up in Honolulu Harbor, circa September-October 1909, during
the first leg of a cruise to the western Pacific. Diamond Head
is in the far right distance.
Six armored cruisers (of the eight which took part in this cruise)
are visible. One is in the left distance (beyond the white, two-masted
sailboat). USS West Virginia (Armored Cruiser # 5) is
alongside the left-most pier. Four are alongside the piers in
the center and right center. Of those, the one at left (in the
center of the photo) is USS Tennessee (Armored Cruiser
# 10).
