We also have a brass ships clock from the same estate signed US Iowa BB 61 & dated 1940. We added photos of the ships clock for informational purposes only. American Chain Ladder Co. 151 East 50th Street, NY. MODEL C T L 6. SIZE 30, WEIGHT 74. N X S S-39 30. He ladder measures approx. 13′ long with 13 steps. The steps measure approx. There are 2 rings at one end for securing. It is clipped at the bottom indicating it was originally a longer ladder. Since the metal tag indicates Weight 74 it was most likely twice the present length approx. 25′ long or 25 steps. The paper tag that was attached has handwritten what we think says LATTER, possibly Ladder misspelled or a name. The ladder is in very good condition with a few slightly tilted discs that can be easily straightened. The ladder is in pretty much original condition other than the appropriate aged patina. The USS Iowa was ordered on July 1, 1939 and Laid Down on June 21, 1940. The following information with statistics and timelines was taken from the USS Iowa Battleship Museum / Los Angeles Museum.

This tragedy remains the largest post-World War II peacetime loss of life in U. The USS IOWA was decommissioned for the third time in October 1990. The Iowa Class battleships participated in every conflict including and since World War II up to and including the first Gulf War in 1991.
