Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ photo of the ship as it sets in dry dock. The photo shows it from behind as the water is being pumped out to expose it’s complete bottom. At this point all four of it’s propellers are at least partially exposed and two skiffs are floating by the rear starting an inspection. This photo is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the photo will not be visible in the scanned view.
