USS Nero (1898-1922, later AC-17)
At sea during a storm on 5 September 1912 during the 1912 Alaskan
Radio Expedition.
The view was taken from the ship's bridge looking forward, with
the top of one of the ship's short kingposts and a canvas covered
boat in the foreground. The ship was probably underway riding
out the storm off Unalga Island, Alaska, just before completing
her work there. Nero encountered numerous violent storms
during this expedition.
