696k | Battleship New Hampshire (BB-25) And Liberty Party Going Ashore One of the most serious disasters that ever befell the members of a crew of a United States battleship in time of peace was the swamping of a cutter of the New Hampshire in the Hudson river recently while the big fighting vessel was lying at anchor off the New York shore. Nearly thirty lives were lost when the boat was swamped by the wave of a passing barge. The cutter was loaded with nearly a hundred of the sailors and marines who had been enjoying shore liberty for a day and in same manner not fully explained all were thrown into the water. Darkness made the work of rescue difficult which together with a strong tide running at the time caused the fearful loss of life. For several days after the tragedy the river was dragged with little success. The officers of the warship fleet anchored in the Hudson called a board of inquiry immediately after the accident but beyond the fact that a wave from the barge was responsible no blame was attached to any one. This picture shows the New Hampshire at anchor and several small boats similar to the one swamped as they are being towed to the landing with a crowd of sailors out for a time on shore. | Image and text provided by University of North Texas; Denton, TX.

DREADNAUGHT QUAILS BEFORE ONSLAUGHT OF SOUND LINER | Shattered stern of the United States dreadnaught New Hampshire (BB-25), photographed immediately after that powerful fighting vessel had been rammed by the big steamboat Commonwealth, en route from New York to Fall River with 1000 passengers on board, as the battleship lay at anchor off the naval training station at Newport. The bow of the Commonwealth was badly damaged, but Uncle Sam's pet battleship was by far the more damaged of the two. It is estimated that it will take more than two weeks work, at a cost of 13,500, to repair the New Hampshire.
