USS Glacier (1898-1922) With the collier USS Justin outboard at the Mare Island Navy Yard between 1908, when Glacier first arrived on the West Coast, and 1915, when Justin was decommissioned. The curved beams over Glacier's fantail, which do not appear in any of the other images presented here, may be associated with towing, one of her duties in the Pacific.
