Title: Puget Sound Navy Yard, Bremerton, Washington
Description: Panoramic photograph taken from west of the Navy Yard, scanning from south to east, circa 1919-1920. Several battleships are at the Navy Yard piers, in the left center distance, and another battleship is off shore, to the right of the distant piers. A cargo ship is alongside the nearer pier in left center, and a civilian ferry steamer is in the center foreground. Several decommissioned or reduced commission warships are moored in the right half of the image. They are (from center to right): USS Charleston (Cruiser # 22), USS Vicksburg (Gunboat # 11) with USS SC-292 alongside, USS Montana (Armored Cruiser # 13 renamed Missoula on 7 June 1920), USS Seattle (Armored Cruiser # 11) with a cargo ship beyond, USS Oregon (Battleship # 3), and USS North Carolina (Armored Cruiser # 12 renamed Charlotte on 7 June 1920). The five vertical lines in this image suggest that it is a montage of six separate prints, though the even flow of the image across these lines indicates that all the original prints were the product of a single sweep by one panoramic camera.
