Removed caption read: Photo # NH 59921     USS Memphis wrecked by a tidal wave at Santo Domingo, August 1916

Wrecked at Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, where she was thrown ashore by tidal waves on the afternoon of 29 August 1916.

This view probably was taken early on 30 August, as the ship appears to be abandoned. Note the anchor chain running seaward from her starboard bow.
