USS Potomac (1898-1922) Probably shown circa June 1899 at the Portsmouth, N.H., Navy Yard. The tug behind her is USS Piscataqua, and both tugs had just been put back into commission, Potomac on 19 May and Piscataqua on 1 June. The small cruiser, still in Manila Bay war paint, is Raleigh, and behind her is the transport Resolute which in May 1899 began supporting the steam trials of the new battleship Kearsarge. By 3 July Potomac was on special service but the other three ships were still at Portsmouth. Photo No. 19-N-14183 Source: U.S. National Archives, RG-19-N, box 57 |
