Photo #: NH 105913 USS Hancock (1902-1926, later AP-3) As the receiving ship at the New York Navy Yard circa 1910, when the Connecticut-class battleship in the right distance received her two cage masts. The original image is printed on post card stock. See Photo # NH 105913-A for a view of the reverse of this card, featuring an undated message from a Sailor to his sister, Mrs. Edgar Hallett of Dorchester (Boston), Massachusetts, concerning his service in the ship's dynamo room. A second postcard, with an identical photograph, remains in the posession of the donor. Postmarked on Hancock on 2 December 1910, it features a message from the same Sailor to his mother, Mrs. Martha McCreedy, also of Dorchester, concerning his assignment to the ship for the next five months.
