Coaling Ship
A U.S. Navy collier transferring coal to a warship, during the
1910s.
The original image is printed on post card ("AZO")
stock.
This collier is either USS Nereus or USS Proteus.
Note how her coal bucket is "throwing" its load to
assist the men moving the coal to the warship's bunkers.
Donation of Charles R. Haberlein Jr., 2008.
