USS Yosemite (1898-1900) Probably photographed in mid-1898 soon after conversion to an auxiliary cruiser at Newport News, Va. Of her main battery of ten 5" guns, four were on deck and six in the hull. Near-sister Dixie (see AD-1), also converted at Newport News, had a similar main battery arrangement but had 6" guns. Dixie is probably the ship moored beyond Yosemite's bow. Photo No. NH 43670 Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command |
