Original - USS Oregon (BB-3) in dry dock, Brooklyn Navy Yard. September 1898
Reason
Because the ship is in the dry dock, the parts normally submerged are visible and the angle is fortunate enough to show the propeller on the opposite board, the gun coverings are also there. Probably the best photo of the ship available. Except insignificant blur, the quality is very good for the 19th century photography.
