USS Memphis (Armored Cruiser # 10)
View on the ship's after deck, looking forward, at Santo Domingo,
Dominican Republic, on 30 July 1917. She had been cast ashore
by a tidal wave on 29 August 1916, and by this time had been
largely stripped of guns, supplies and equipment.
Note the after ten-inch gun turret, with guns removed, in the
center of the photograph.
Collection of John G. Krieger, 1967. He was serving in USS Eagle
when the photograph was taken.
