Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “This is a view of the three great battleships on the day of the great naval parade at Oyster Bay in the summer of 1906. One of the great difficulties in photography is the getting of a view at a distance and still preserve the details, and if you will notice there are five battleships actually in sight in this view. These battleships compose, with the Kansas, the first division of the squadron of the battle fleet ordered to the Pacific.
The first battleship in view is the Louisiana, and the second is the Connecticut, the flagship, and the third the Vermont. All of these battleships are of the first-class type, having a displacement of 16,000 tons and sailing 18 knots an hour, all carrying 24 guns four inches and over in size, having four to six 12-inch guns mounted in turrets with a striking energy of three miles, or in other words, any one of the 12-inch monsters can hit and destroy at a distance of five miles.”
