This photo was taken at the Puget Sound Navy Yard in Bremerton, possibly during the 1908 visit of the Great White Fleet. Other images in the 130-139 number range show ships that were not in the fleet or were in dry dock, an unlikely event for a four-day visit (May 23-27, 1908). Our copy of Image 132 (132 - U.S. Battleship Wisconsin) was postmarked just before the visit of the Great White Fleet, suggesting that this photo was also taken beforehand.

Otto took another photo of the ship as well:

Note the cloth over the bow.

There is another Image 131 (131 - 2 Ave. Seattle). Reuse of image numbers and different image series make it difficult to know how many images Otto published.
