Description: Photo #: NH 105998 Great White Fleet World Cruise, December 1907 February 1909 USS Wisconsin (Battleship # 9) underway in heavy weather, during 1908-1909. Photographed by Brown & Shaffer. Though this photograph's inscription identifies this ship as USS Illinois (Battleship # 7) the configuration of masts and porthole spacing shows that she is actually Wisconsin, which joined the fleet after it arrived on the West Coast.
