EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in American naval history. Titled "America's Battleship Missing" the image showcases the USS Louisiana, a battleship that has mysteriously disappeared. The Navy Department recently received a report stating that the vessel went missing while being towed from Norfolk to Philadelphia for scrapping under the Washington Treaty. Taken on 7th January 1924, this monochrome photograph portrays the aftermath of an unfortunate incident. Due to adverse weather conditions, the towing boat had no choice but to cast off its connection with USS Louisiana. The fate of this mighty warship remains unknown. The significance of this image lies not only in its documentation of a missing battleship but also in its representation of an era marked by international agreements and disarmament efforts. As part of the Washington Treaty signed in 1922, several nations committed to reducing their naval forces, including scrapping certain vessels like USS Louisiana. Preserved by Central News and now available through Europeana Photography at TopFoto, this snapshot invites viewers to ponder upon America's military past and raises questions about what might have befallen one of her formidable battleships during transit.
