The picture is titled "USS McCall, torpedo boat destroyer," a naval vessel that the Bain News Service labeled on its original negative. Torpedo boat destroyers were fast, lightly armored warships built in large numbers in the early twentieth century to screen battle fleets and to counter enemy torpedo boats. The Bain agency, a New York news photography business, supplied pictures of ships, officials and events to newspapers, and its title data was often recorded in haste, so the vessel's identity is worth confirming before relying on it.
