Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “This is one of the United States’ fastest cruisers, commanded by Captain John B. Milton, in the armored cruiser fleet in the Pacific December 19th, 1907. This cruiser is the same type as the Colorado and the Maryland, and has a phenomenal record of 22 1/2 knots an hour. It is considered one of the fastest grey-hounds in this magnificent fleet of armored cruisers and should there be any war the West Virginia would give a good account of itself.”
