The Battle Ship in Union Square

[Compass Rose]

I happened to come across this and thought you guys would find it as interesting as I did as I had never heard about it before.

In 1917 the U.S. Navy built a full-size battleship in Union Square, New York to use as a recruitment and training center.

USS Toothpick would have been a better name.
