Battleship USS Maine (BB-10)
Image by Konabish ~ Greg Bishop
The second battleship Maine.
At the bottom of the print: "Supplement to the Marine Review, Cleveland, Vol XXI, No. 6, Feb. 8, 1900 … New battleship Maine, building at Cramp Works, Philadelphia…. [and, referencing 2 more battleships:] (Missouri building at Newport News Works, and Ohio at Union Works are ships of the same class)… copyright 1909 The Marine Review Pub. Co."
1. Interesting that, even though closer, the people on 2 small boats are smaller than the Maine’s crew.
2. The painting incorrectly shows her with elliptical main turrets.

OREGON AVENUE WEST FROM FIFTEENTH STREET. THE PRESENCE OF THERAILROAD TRACKS PREVENTS THE EXTENSION OF IMPROVEMENTS THE ACQUISITION OF RAILROAD PROPERTY FOR MUNICIPAL PIERS The acquisition by the City of the properties of theBaltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, at the foot of SnyderAvenue, and of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, betweenBigler and Hoyt Streets, on the Delaware River, is one ofthe most valuable features of the South Philadelphia agree-ment. Its importance to the development of the port canhardly be over-estimated. The tract belonging to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroadcomprises the site of the old Pier No. 80—which was de-stroyed by fire about a year ago and has not yet been rebuilt—and two or three smaller structures adjacent, the Ilength of river frontage being about 900 feet.

is as near to the City Hall as isthe Eighteenth, and with a Broad Street subway now withinsight, it will be fully as accessible to the heart of the City asare the northeastern wards named. At the same time, theriver front in the Thirty-ninth Ward is as extensive as thatof all the wards mentioned. It is reasonable, therefore, tosuppose that the average real estate value, per acre, in theThirty-ninth Ward will, at no distant day, approximate thatof the other river wards spoken of. With such increasedrevenue from real estate taxes, the City will be much morethan compensated for any outlay in abolishing grade cross-ings, for developing the harbor and for building moderndocks and wharves. The immeasurable additional advantage of creatingnew fields of labor by opening large tracts of land as sitesfor the building of mills and factories should not be over-looked. The City should certainly be congratulated on thesolution of one of the serious questions that have perplexedus for many years. 10
