Epworth beach August 10, 1909 - Steve Hunt |

With some time to look into this, I find that the
vessels were the Don Juan de Austria,
Yantic,
Nashville,
Essex,
Dorothea, and
Gopher, all on a naval reserve
training trip with 1600 reservists among the six vessels. The fleet
anchored off Epworth at 6 AM, Monday, 16 August 1909 (not 11 August 1909
as the photo caption indicates) and remained there for nine hours while
signal and gunnery drills were performed. The army was conducting
massive reserve training at the same time at Lincoln Fields (now the
Lincoln Hills Golf Course, I believe) just north of Epworth, and its
commanders, as well as Michigan governor Fred Warner, were guests aboard
the Don Juan de Austria. |
