USS President Lincoln (1917-1918)
"All that was left of the ship": Life rafts and boats
adrift in the Bay of Biscay about two weeks after the ship was
sunk. President Lincoln was torpedoed by the German submarine
U-90 on 31 May 1918.
Note: A hand-written inscription on an original print
of this image in the Naval Historical Foundation's USS President
Lincoln collection identifies it as having been taken from
USS Roe (Destroyer # 24) on 1 June 1918, the day after
President Lincoln was sunk.
