Title: Honda Point Disaster, September 1923
Description: Aerial view taken from a plane assigned to USS Aroostook (CM-3), soon after seven ships of Destroyer Squadron Eleven ran aground on Honda Point, California, during the night of 8 September 1923. Point Arguello and its lighthouse are in the foreground. Some of the stranded ships are visible in the distance. Those identifiable are: USS Fuller (DD-297) in the upper right, just to left of a small rock island; and USS Young (DD-312), capsized between Fuller and the mainland, in upper right. Two salvage ships are standing by, to the left of Fuller. Courtesy of the Naval Historical Foundation. Collection of Admiral William V. Pratt. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
