    Photo #: NH 106682

    USS Frederick
    (Armored Cruiser # 8, ex-Maryland)

    Pitching in heavy seas while "Bound for the U.S.A.", circa 1918 or early 1919.
    The original print, produced by "A-R-A", carried the following hand-written inscription:
    "Bow of the Old Frederick. If a feller has a weak constitution he'd better stay ashore, We're 'pitching' here, not rolling much."
    "The same ship as in the other picture, but not in quite so peaceful a place. Seas like this have regard for nothing -- and they have been plentiful, and will be so this winter." (see Photo # NH 106681 for the "other picture" mentioned here.)
