USS Georgia BB-15 - tapestry complete
Why the USS Georgia (BB-15)? This Virginia-class battleship, was built by Bath Iron Works (BIW) in Bath, Maine. She was launched on October 11, 1904, and commissioned on September 24, 1906. It is the only battleship ever built by Bath Iron Works, where I worked for an amazing thirteen+ years.
