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.

Donation of Captain Stephen S. Roberts, USNR (Retired), 2008.
