Photo #: NH 103126
USS Imperator (ID # 4080), at left,
and
USS Leviathan (ID # 1326)
At Hoboken, New Jersey, probably after Imperator's first
trans-Atlantic voyage as a U.S. Navy ship, circa late May 1919.
At that time, these were the World's largest ships, hence the
photo's title: "The 'Giants' of the Sea".
Panoramic photograph by Picot, 15 4th Avenue, Brooklyn, New York.
Note the large decoration on Imperator's bow.
Donation of Georgia Adams Grann and Caryl L. Adams, 2005. The
original print came from the collection of their father, George
W. Adams, who enlisted in the Navy in 1908.
