Description
View of the ship's stern, after she was placed in Dry Dock Number Four at the New York Navy Yard, 12 June 1917. The point of the stern projects between the dock caisson's external braces, and her rudder has been turned 60 degrees to port to clear the caisson. This former German passenger liner was renamed Agamemnon in September 1917, shortly after she was placed in commission. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
