PHOTOGRAPHS - GLASS NEGATIVES

circa 1917
overall: 5 x 7 in.; 12.7 x 17.78 cm

5 x 7 glass plate negative taken by Rosenfeld and Sons probably in 1917. View of sailors in their blues posed on the turret and deck of a US battleship. This ship is possibly the USS OHIO (BB 12) at its recommissioning 24 April 1917. [Cataloger information is based on US Navy photograph comparisons, mainly the two gun turret on the deck, two caged masts, and three stacks. Also the fact that this photograph is ceremonial and dated 1917, the year USS OHIO was recommissioned].
