USS Missouri (BB-11) at Hudson-Fulton Celebration, 1909
Here we see the Maine class battleship USS Missouri (BB-11) at the Hudson-Fulton celebration of September-October 1909. This was held to celebrate the 300th anniversary of Henry Hudson's discovery of the Hudson River and the 100th anniversary of Robert Fulton's first succesful commercial use of the paddle steamer. Note the mix of masts on the Missouri, which has one military mast and one cage mast.
