USS North Dakota (BB-29) at Brooklyn Navy Yard
Here we see the Delaware class battleship USS North Dakota (BB-29) in the Brookyn Navy Yard, with part of one of the yard's large cranes seen at the top of the picture. This picture gives us a good view of her forward cage mast, which despite looking somewhat flimsy was strong enough to support several structures including gunnery control and searchlight platforms. The picture is undated, but is probably from 1919 or later as in earlier pictures the foremast had fewer platforms.
