USS Saturn (1898-1922, later AG-4)
Leaving Sitka, Alaska, 1917.
The original photo is printed on "AZO" post card stock. The following hand-written inscription is on the card's reverse: "Oct. 15, 1917. U.S.S. Saturn. It is just leaving the Radio station dock for San Francisco. I am not on it, but am on the dock in the background. She rolls so much that somtimes that long row of portholes is underwater. She is something over 300 feet long and 1500 horsepower. Frank."
Donation of Dr. Mark Kulikowski, 2010.
