Inside the Vizcaya: Life Aboard the Warship after Battle
A detailed tour of the ship reveals officers private lockers and ordered bunks, a hospital deck with convalescents, kitchens with large coffeepots, and an evaporating plant. Lt Schentze explains navigation and the crew’s discipline while the magazine deck shows powder tanks, shell cars, and a 12 inch turret in action. Visited by Charette, famed for Merrimac service, the crew’s daily routines, autographs declined, and a moment of star-spangled singing close the tour.
