"Remarkable photograph of the Vermont laboring in a heavy sea on the voyage to Europe, This photograph was snapped by a member of the crew of USS WYOMING (BB-32) and brought here in advance of the disabled warship's arrival. It has been suggested that the starboard shaft of the Vermont, which broke on her homeward voyage, may have been strained in this storm."
