Photo #: NH 46227
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 early on 30 August, as the ship
appears to be abandoned. Note the U.S. Ensign hanging from the
ship's stern where the flagstaff had broken away. The top of
her rudder and propeller is also visible.
Photographed by the local U.S. Consul, Carl M.J. von Zeilinski.
