USS Corry (DD-334), 1921-1930 --
Ship's Hulk after Disposal by the Navy

After being partially dismantled at the Mare Island Navy Yard, ex-USS Corry's remains, consisting of most of her hull and a small portion of her superstructure, were sold. Taken a short distance up the Napa River, about a mile from Mare Island, she was later abandoned where she lay. Jack Howland, a long-time employee of the Mare Island Naval Shipyard and a collector of destroyer images, visited her as a young man in 1939, and again in 1966, taking photographs on both occasions. He loaned some of these images to the Naval Historical Center for copying in 1975, and a number of the copies are presented below.

This page features selected views of USS Corry's hulk after it was disposed of by the Navy.
