Original historic photographic print mounted on cabinet card of U. Georgia (BB-15) battleship in drydock at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard on June 9, 1907. There are some really amazing details in this photo, including three workmen sitting or standing on the port screw. The armor belt at the waterline is clearly visible, as are other details of the hull and rigging. Built at the Bath Iron Works in Maine, the U. Georgia was launched in October 1904 and commissioned in September 1906. This photo was taken prior to a major training accident in July 1907 that claimed the lives of ten officers and men in the aft 8-inch gun turret. The Georgia later had her heavy pole masts replaced with cage masts. This is a real, original photographic print and not a recent reproduction. Image is about 9-5/8″ wide by 7-1/2″ tall, mounted and matted on a cabinet card 12-5/8″ wide by 10-3/4″ tall. Condition: cabinet card is in fair condition and photo is in good condition. There are some surface blemishes, scratches, and small holes on the photo but they do little to detract from the drama of this particular view. Please examine the photos carefully to determine condition prior to making an offer or purchasing the item.
