Vintage photographs of battleships, battlecruisers and cruisers.

To go directly to photos of a specific ship, simply enter her name in the search window (little white space) at the upper left. Ditto for a type of warship, country, year, etc..., e.g. battlecruiser. You can click on an individual photograph to view it alone against a dark background. When you want to go back to the page, just click outside the picture. Please note that I resize, denoise/despeckle/descratch and generally crop the photos to show mostly the ship itself in the space available.

Two Italian Trento-class heavy cruisers alongside ocean liners in the port of Genoa, May 14-16th 1938.

At a time when Mussolini visited the city. Probably Trento to the left and Trieste to the right as judged by the difference in lower foretops and funnels. Bolzano had angled funnel caps and a more massive bridge structure, amongst other differences.
