The following is a transcription of a handwritten roster of the crew of the Armored Cruiser BROOKLYN . The transcription requires interpretation of a list in which the handwriting was not necessarily clear. In addition, some names appear to have been spelled phonetically. Therefore, "Jentz" could be "Jens," etc.
