The Holland

Launch of the USS Holland May 17,1897

USS Holland & Russian Battleship Retzvian

Submarine USS Holland
This picture is the USS Holland SS 1 and the Russian battleship
Retvizan entering the dry docks at the New York Navy Yard.
Retvizan was later sunk in the Russo-Japanese War.
The 8" dynamite gun in the bow of the Holland
was never fitted to any other sub. It proved useless.

Holland Line Plan from Sept 1967 issue of ALL HANDS magazine.

At the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, Maryland, circa 1905, with several midshipmen on board.
Among the midshipmen are, as identified from names on their uniforms:
Naval Cadet Henry G.S. Wallace (entering conning tower);
Naval Cadet John W. Woodruff (behind Wallace);
Naval Cadet John. H. Blackburn (by the mast);
Naval Cadet William J. Moses (in front of the flag).
The officer standing by the conning tower is probably
Holland's Commanding Officer, Lieutenant Harry H. Caldwell.
Note Holland's bell mounted on her foremast, commissioning pennant
flying from the top of her mainmast, outriggers fixed along her deck
edge, and the bow of the converted yacht Gloucester in the right background.
