A beautiful photograph of the new battleship USS Connecticut (BB-18) on her builder’s trials off the Maine coast, 1906. Connecticut carried twelve coal-fired Babcock & Wilcox boilers for a maximum speed of 18 knots, impressive for the time. Photographed by Enrique Muller.
Beautiful and graceful, very emblematic of the “Great White Fleet”.
