Photo #: NH 104519

Seaplane and a U.S. Navy Cruiser


Photo printed on a stereograph card, which is inscribed on the reverse: "From Marina - Maryland and Hydroplane"; "San Francisco P.P.I.E. Sept. 1915".
The ship seen is either USS Milwaukee (Cruiser # 21) or USS Charleston (Cruiser # 22). It is definitely not USS Maryland (Armored Cruiser # 8). The initials in the inscription probably refer to the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, held at San Francisco in 1915 in honor of the opening of the Panama Canal.
