Photo #: NH 105646-KN
S.S. Massachusetts (American coastal steamer, 1907)
Shown after she was purchased and remodeled by the Eastern Steamship
Corporation in 1912.
The postcard bearing this image was postmarked at New York on
25 August 1914 by a passenger who had apparently become seasick
on the passage from Boston, Massachusetts. This ship became the
minelayer USS Shawmut (ID # 1255) in 1917 and was renamed
USS Oglala in 1928.
Donation of Captain Stephen S. Roberts, USNR (Retired), 2008.
