Colorized stereograph showing the port side of the USS Pennsylvania. The battleship is decorated with flags and is painted white. Several soldiers in blue uniforms can be seen on the deck and in rowboats in the water. Another ship is in the background. Text on the reverse of the stereograph details various features of the Pennsylvania, including the speed, displacement, and guns on board. The text also discusses the newly formed Pacific Fleet, of which the Pennsylvania is a part.
Comments and Context
As printed on the reverse of the stereograph, “America’s fastest cruiser, the Pennsylvania, has the reputation of being the grey-hound of the American fleet and has made the phenomenal speed of 23 knots, equal to about 27 miles an hour on land. This is the speed of an ordinary train. It has a displacement of 13, 680 tons and carries 18 guns.
On December 19th, 1907, the United States has had massed on the Pacific Coast a magnificent fleet of this type of cruiser, twelve in number, in three divisions, commanded by Rear-Admiral Dayton, Rear-Admiral Swyburn and Rear-Admiral Sebree. This fleet, together with the battleships Nebraska and Wisconsin, and a torpedo flotilla, are at the date mentioned above waiting for the great battleship fleet on its way to join them in the Pacific.”
