Page to learn more about the Spanish American War
This image is of the Cruiser OLYMPIA
shows her in the configuration which have been seen at the Battle
of
Manila Bay, May 1, 1898. The observation post built over
top of the forward conning tower is clearly visible. The ship is no
longer in her wartime paint of slate gray however, but is now
repainted peacetime white with buff funnels and masts.
The image is clearly after the war, as evidenced by the
Admiral's pennant seen flying from the mainmast. George
Dewey was appointed Admiral of the Navy on March 2, 1899.
