Photo #: NH 105785
Installing a 12"/45 gun in a battleship gun turret
This is probably Turret # 3 of either Delaware (Battleship
# 28) or North Dakota (Battleship # 29). The view may
have been taken while the ship was under construction, circa
1909-1910.
The original image is printed on post card ("AZO")
stock. A handwritten inscription pencilled on its reverse ("USS
Franklin") has no obvious bearing on the subject of the
photo.
Donation of Charles R. Haberlein Jr., 2008.
