117k | Late in 1913, Captain Edwin A. Anderson was given command of New Hampshire (BB-25) and while in command of that ship, took part in the American intervention at Veracruz, Mexico, in April of 1914. Given command of the Second Seaman Regiment, Anderson led that bluejacket landing force ashore and so distinguished himself in the fighting that followed that he was awarded the Medal of Honor. Medal of Honor Citation for Captain Edwin A. Anderson:“For extraordinary heroism in battle, engagement of Vera Cruz, 22 April 1914, in command of the Second Seaman Regiment. Marching his regiment across the open space in front of the Naval Academy and other buildings, Captain Anderson unexpectedly met a heavy fire from riflemen, machine guns and 1–pounders, which caused part of his command to break and fall back, many casualties occurring amongst them at the time. His indifference to the heavy fire, to which he himself was exposed at the head of his regiment, showed him to be fearless and courageous in battle”. He was also awarded the Distinguished Service Medal. | Digital ID: ggbain # 19696. Source: Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. Text from: "Medal of Honor; 1861-1949. The Navy".

67k | The identity of this ship is not certain, but is firmly believed to be New Hampshire (BB-25) taken in the early 20's just prior to being broken up for scrap under the terms of the Naval Treaties.
