Description
Photograph of starboard view of the U.S.S. Connecticut, showing several boats alongside and other ships astern, 1908. At center, the large ship is visible moving along the ocean water with several launches seen alongside. Portholes are scattered along the massive hull of the ship, and a decorative emblem is seen along the very front of the hull. Along the deck, crowds of people can be seen standing near the guardrails of the ship. At the center of the ship, three large smokestacks are visible framed by two massive masts. Two flags adorn the tops of the masts, and wires extend to all parts of the ship. Similarly, a single flag is seen fluttering in the wind at the front of the ship. Beneath the mast on the right, large framed letters are arranged to spell the word: "Connecticut". To the left of the vessel, several small launchers filled with men sit nearby. A single rod is seen extending from the ship and connecting to one of the small boats. In the far background to the left, two more identical ships can be seen. To the right, a small wall or coastline is visible.
