USS Memphis (CL-13) Starboard Profile at Anchor (June 1927) · Donald A. Hall Estate Collection

A detailed archival photograph documenting the starboard profile of the light cruiser USS Memphis (CL-13) at anchor. Commissioned in 1925, the cruiser gained international prominence when it transported Charles Lindbergh and the crated Ryan NYP from Cherbourg, France, to the United States. The image highlights the warship's bridge structure, foremast, four smokestacks, and deck configuration, preserving the historical naval vessel that served as the maritime carrier for America's premier aviation artifact.
