Title: USS Frederick
Description: (Armored Cruiser # 8, ex-Maryland) Pitching in heavy seas while Bound for the U.S.A., circa 1918 or early 1919. The original print, produced by A-R-A, carried the following hand-written inscription: Bow of the Old Frederick. If a feller has a weak constitution he'd better stay ashore, We're 'pitching' here, not rolling much. The same ship as in the other picture, but not in quite so peaceful a place. Seas like this have regard for nothing and they have been plentiful, and will be so this winter. (see Photo # NH 106681 for the other picture mentioned here.) Donation of Charles R. Haberlein Jr., 2009. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
