and a Cessna shot, AT-17's the same year.
further back in 1900, not so much industry but destruction of one. Fuck Carrie Nation and her hatchet and the whole "Kansas Idea" (Prohibition in Kansas started in 1881)
The keel is laid March 16, 1914 at the New York Navy Yard Building progresses: BB-39 under construction (Photo dated May 3rd, 1914) Christening Day, November 10th, 1916 and BB-39, now officially the USS Arizona, heads out for her first shakedown cruise. After calibrating her compass Arizona headed to Hampton Roads, Virginia to fire her guns for the first time.
