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.
