Yeah......... thats about right.

Is that a steel Hull Gary? Whats with the torpedo belt of armor?

Joe

Riveted steel hull. Built in 1921. The last couple refits have found
extensive corrosion inside and there were doubling plates welded over in
spots. She hasn't lost any of her charm though. Maybe a little slower.
