Description: View looking forward over the ship's forecastle, 28 June 1917. Note 3/50 gun mounted on the forecastle deck's starboard side. Though not in commissioned U.S. Navy service, Ockenfels is flying a Navy jack at her bow, perhaps to signify that Navy armed guard personnel are manning her guns. This ship served as USS Pequot (ID # 2998) in 1918-1919. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
