Blue photo printed on cachet #1928 with an actual image of the USS Maryland on 8 December 1941, by Alvin Eckert, USCS #9964. This mostly undamaged battleship was alongside (inside) the torpedoed USS Oklahoma that turned over, trapping members of the crew. This proud ship, a 624 foot long Colorado Class battleship was built in Newport News, VA and commissioned in 1921. She served in both the Atlantic and Pacific during the peacetime 1920s and 30s. This senior battleship was moored in Battleship Row on 7 December 1941 and was the first to shoot down an enemy torpedo plane. Her crew activated all their anti-aircraft guns and after the battle sent firefighting crews to assist sister ships. After repairs and modernization the USS Maryland earned seven WWII Battle Stars in the Pacific Theater. After the hostilities ended, USS Maryland transported troops back to America as part of Operation Magic Carpet during five voyages in 1945 and 1946. The proud battleship was sold for recycling into scrap metal in 1959. Seller has over 80 covers for the ships attacked at Pearl Harbor in 1941. Check out my other items!
