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 was taken during the late afternoon or early evening,
as Memphis was being abandoned. Note waves breaking over
the ship's superstructure, and lines rigged between ship and
shore.
Photographed by the local U.S. Consul, Carl M.J. von Zeilinski.
