USS Hancock (AP-3): Photographs

S.S. Arizona (American Passenger Steamer, 1879)

In port, showing damage to her bow received when she rammed an iceberg at high speed in the North Atlantic on 7 November 1879.
Location is probably St. John's, Newfoundland. Note the ship's original twin stacks and heavy rig.
After reconstruction in 1897 this ship became U.S. Army Transport Hancock in 1898 and USS Hancock in 1902.
