A man peeks at the camera while standing in front of gun turrets aboard a battleship off the coast, Santa Monica, about 1900

Description:
Photograph taken aboard an unidentified battleship visited by H. H. West and others just off-shore in Santa Monica. A man wearing a hat and with a hand in his pocket peeks into the frame from the left. Two large gun turrets are behind him and sit at the center of the photograph. To either side of that, there are two more, smaller, turrets. Atop the 2 large turrets at center, there is the ship's bridge. Visitors stand at a railing on top of the bridge amidst large guns that face outward to the right and left. On the deck, a uniformed naval serviceman approaches the large gun turrets from the left. Two women in dresses stand to the right of the large turrets. On the far right, a lifeboat hangs off the side of the ship.
