I would like to know if there are drawings (I have already searched the internet for photos) of this ship. Who built the model that is in the London museum? Maybe he would have some drawings? My great great grandparents emigrated from Sweden to the U.S. on this ship.

I was looking for my Grandpa's ship and was able to see some great pictures on your site. It is even more special on this Veteran's Day. Grandpa had a picture of the USS Harrisburg on the kitchen wall for 70 years.  Like so many, he traveled from New York to France on this ship. He loved to show us his picture and tell us stories about WWI and a young Iowa boy from the lakes. He was part of the Rainboy Division and met Black Jack Purshing. Thanks so much for all of the information. Wish I could share it with him. I will share it with my family.

Sincerely,
Renae Blume for Frank D. Deel

I have a bosun's pipe from the USS Harrisburg. It has been scratched to remove the name of the seaman but the name of the ship is easily seen. I am looking for a list of crew to identify the bosun before putting the pipe on eBay. From looking at the pipe, it looks like the first initial of the name of the Bosun started with a "S" and the last name might start with a "T" or an "F". I wondered if such a list exists and how I might locate it. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. Your site has been very useful and it is well done.

Thanks,
Larry Howers
