Unknow US Navy Vessel in Kiel Habor Germany - need help to identify

[Marksman]

Hello all,

 

a few month ago i got a nice pre WW1 Picture of the German Habor of Kiel.

 

I saw a US Navy Vessel there but i dont know which ship it is. Maybe someone can help me.

 

One problem is i dont have a date for the Drawing - but all the ships looks pre WW1

Probably the US Fleet visit to Kiel in 1903.

To me it looks very close to a Montgomery Class Cruiser, but it has features of the San Francisco (1888-1889 production) I'd call it a San Francisco if it wasn't for the San Fran having 3 masts, while your ship has 2

 

 

Sorry I can't help to find the exact vessel, I'm not a ship guy myself hehehe more aircraft but hope that helped a bit
