Photo #: NH 106168-KN (color)
USS Connecticut (Battleship # 18)
Post card providing the ship's itinerary during the "Great
White Fleet" World cruise.
This card was published prior to the completion of the cruise,
as it is postmarked Mason, Michigan in January 1909 (exact date
is unclear) and some dates apparently reflect the Fleet's original
schedule. These notably include the dates of arrival at the Suez
Canal (3 January 1909, not 5 January) and Hampton Roads (22 February
1909, not 21 January).
Donation of Mrs. Ruth Mayfield, 1973.
