Book Description
Excerpt from The American Legion Magazine, Vol. 27: October, 1939 From those ancient decks and from the gun ports in that now scarred and rusted hull, there spoke the guns that in a single day helped sink a Spanish fleet, win an Island kingdom, and lift the United States of America into the very forefront of the world's family of nations. For although today the U. S. S. Balti more is a ship without a crew, she is a veteran of a glorious and glamorous era in the history of America.
