Photo #: NH 46161
USS Milwaukee (Cruiser # 21)
Waves breaking over the wrecked cruiser's boat deck on 29 April
1919, more than two years after she went aground at Samoa Beach,
near Eureka, California, on 13 January 1917.
This view looks aft along the ship's starboard (seaward) side.
Note the collapsed deck by the ventilator cowls, where the ship's
hull had split apart.
