The USS North Dakota (BB-29). The photograph is dated 1916 but we are not sure if this is the correct date. It appears that the ship is attending some sort of a special celebration inasmuch as the crew is lining the rails, three U.S. flags and signal flags are being flown. It also appears that a gun salute has just been fired as revealed by the smoke amidships. The photograph is © by Real Photographs Ltd. U.K.
The International Naval Research Organization is a non-profit organization dedicated to the encouragement of the study of naval vessels and their histories, principally in the era of iron and steel warships (about 1860 to date). Its purpose is to provide information and a means of contact for those interested in warships. The principal activity of INRO for the last 45 years has been the publication of a quarterly journal, Warship International, recognized internationally as the leading and most authoritative publication in the field. Auxiliary services include a Book Service, offering a 10 per cent discount on current naval books, and the Photo Service, which provides warship photos at a nominal price.
