88k | Photo was taken in 1909, before the Idaho (BB-24) was refitted with a cage foremast. Note the stack bands -- At that time Mississippi (BB-23) had one fewer on her after stack. In USN Flag practice, note that the ship has the National Ensign at the stern and the Jack at the bow, thus indicating that she is not underway, but is at anchor or moored (reinforced by the embarkation ladder rigged aft and the boat alongside amidships). If she had been underway, the National Ensign would have been flying from the mainmast, and the Jack would have been stowed away. | Photograph # 19-N-14908, from the Bureau of Ships Collection in the U.S. National Archives.
