Salmon/D-3 SS 19
USS D-3 Photographed from the Port bow. Note dents in the rotating bowcap for the torpedo tubes. This was a thick solid casting of several inches thick so those were hard hits. Date is unknown but circa 1910 is probably close.
Photo from the Private Collection of Ric Hedman
Really rare shot of a black crewman on the D-3. Blacks had not been relegated to
cooking and serving positions yet by Presidents Wilson's segregation of the Navy.
There is one crewman sitting on the deck talking to the man in the lower right of photo.
Eleven of the D-3's crew are in the full picture above.
