U.S.S. "Indiana" Coaling at Sea

This film shows a panoramic view of the "Indiana," coal barges at side, small boats with sailors rowing around the stern of the ship; much action is depicted on deck.

U.S. Battleship "Indiana"

Taken at the Dry Tortugas, and shows the most powerful fighting machine in the world to-day as she lies at anchor taking on coal. The decks are covered with marines and sailors. An immense barge lies along side from which a large gang of negroes are hustling "King coal" into the battleship, on whose decks the coal passers run to and fro. The view is taken from a moving yacht and gives the effect of the vessel itself passing through the water. As the yacht passed the starboard quarter, the powerful 13-inch, 8-inch and 6-inch guns bristle from their turrets. She looks every inch of her great length, 348 feet.The photograph is excellent.
