Boarding USS Seattle (Armored Cruiser # 11) from the ferry lighter Knickerbocker, in Brest Harbor, France, circa early 1919.
Note the 3"/50 anti-aircraft gun on Seattle's deck, in the right center foreground.
Also note that Knickerbocker is fitted with a mast in front of her pilothouse. This feature was removed by at least May 1919.
