Title: USS Milwaukee
Description: (Cruiser # 21) Looking aft from the wrecked cruiser's starboard bridge on 29 April 1919, more than two years after she went aground at Samoa Beach, near Eureka, California, on 13 January 1917. This view shows conditions on Milwaukee's boat deck, and the pier used by salvagers to remove guns and equipment from the ship. Note cowl ventilators, coal scuttles on the deck, empty gun positions, and the separation in the deck just aft of amidships where the ship's hull had broken. Photographed by Emma B. Freeman, Eureka, California. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
