USS Bella (ID # 2211)
At Pauillac, France, during the First World War.
Note camouflage pattern painted on her smokestack, and possibly

The original print, received from Naval Air Station, Pauillac,
following World War I, had the following caption: "U.S.S.
Bella carried half of the construction supplies sent from here
to other stations."
