Jaager Posted February 5, 2023 #4 Posted February 5, 2023 @alross2Pardon the intrusion but perhaps you should consider adding some tags at the top: Oregon Bluejacket Great White Fleet ? I have an old'er book The American Steel Navy 1972/1989 rep - There are some interesting subjects in the Appendixes.. The Mariner's Museum has( or used to have ) a lot of models from the transition period from 1860 to 1914. Most are so ugly that they are beautiful.

Dr PR Posted February 6, 2023 #6 Posted February 6, 2023 Back in the 1970s or early 1980s I visited the nautical museum in Astoria, Oregon, and there was a huge model of the USS Oregon. Last time I visited it wasn't there. It looked like a builder's model. I wonder what happened to it, or where it is now.
