508k | Youthful Visitors Disporting In Crow's Nest of Monitor Tonopah (M-8) In North River. In the great review of the Atlantic fleet in the North river the first detachment to arrive and attract attention was composed of the submarine flotilla and its mother ship the monitor Tonopah. Thousands of persons lined Riverside drive and when the word went about that visitors would be allowed aboard the Tonopah, hundreds of youngsters, after getting on board climbed the rigging and soon were in all parts of the ship. In the accompanying illustration the youngsters are shown in high glee watching one of the crew signalling to another boat in the river. It was a day of days for the kiddies. They enjoyed every minute of their stay. | Image and text provided by University of Utah, Marriott Library. Photo courtesy of The Logan Republican.
