kanemono Posted July 23, 2018 Share #103 Posted July 23, 2018 Here is a group to Captain Robert A. Dyer who was captain of USS S34, USS Panay, USS West Point. In 1931 he reported, as Captain of the Panay, "Firing on gunboats and merchant ships have become so routine that any vessel traversing the Yangtze River sails with the expectation of being fired upon. Fortunately," he added, "the Chinese appear to be rather poor marksmen and the ship has, so far, not sustained any casualties in these engagements."

CNY Militaria Posted December 15, 2018 Share #106 Posted December 15, 2018 These two groups are headed to Alaska. Very cool! I just saw this for research potential on Gen. Wood: His papers, consisting of 8 linear feet of correspondence, manuscripts, diaries, and photographs, are housed at the Special Collections Research Center of Syracuse University Library in Syracuse, New York. A finding aid is available on-line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskjl Posted December 17, 2018 Share #108 Posted December 17, 2018 30.jpg 31.jpg USS America (ID-3006) was a troop transport for the United States Navy during World War I. She was launched in 1905 as SS Amerika by Harland and Wolff in Belfast for the Hamburg America Line of Germany. As a passenger liner, she sailed primarily between Hamburg and New York. On 14 April 1912, Amerika transmitted a wireless message about icebergs near the same area where RMS Titanic struck one and sank less than three hours later. At the outset of World War I, Amerika was docked at Boston; rather than risk seizure by the British Royal Navy, she remained in port for the next three years. Hours before the entry of the United States into the war, Amerika was seized and placed under control of the United States Shipping Board (USSB). Later transferred to the U.S. Navy for use as a troop transport, she was initially commissioned as USS Amerika with Naval Registry Identification Number 3006 (ID-3006), but her name was soon Anglicized to America. As America she transported almost 40,000 troops to France. She sank at her mooring in New York in 1918, but was soon raised and reconditioned. After the Armistice, America transported over 51,000 troops back home from Europe. In 1919, she was handed over to the War Department for use by the United States Army as USAT America, under whose control she remained until 1920. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Amerika14April1912.JPG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
