COMMENCING AMERICA’S GREATEST DREADNAUGHT

THIS photograph was made in the Brooklyn navy yard recently and shows the “cradle" of the battleship New York, which is being built by the government and, it is said, will cost >2,000,000 more than any that has been built by private contract. The New York will be the greatest battleship of the dreadnaught class in the United States navy.
