USS Memphis (Armored Cruiser # 10)
Wrecked at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where she was thrown
ashore by tidal waves on the afternoon of 29 August 1916.
This view probably was taken during the late afternoon or early
evening, as Memphis was being abandoned. Note Sailors
on the rocks in the center foreground. Other men are visible
on the ship's superstructure.
Photographed by the local U.S. Consul, Carl M.J. von Zeilinski.
