From the Great War Vol 10 published in 1918 photographer uncredited. Info from wiki: USS Recruit, also known as the Landship Recruit, was a wooden mockup of a dreadnought battleship constructed by the United States Navy in Manhattan in New York City, as a recruiting tool and training ship during the First World War.[1] Commissioned as if it were a normal vessel of the U.S. Navy and manned by a crew of trainee sailors, Recruit was located in Union Square from 1917 until the end of the war. After spending over two years in Union Square, the Landship Recruit was decommissioned and dismantled for moving to Coney Island's Luna Park, where the Navy intended to maintain it as a recruiting depot following its success at its Union Square location.[2] Recruit had its colors struck on 16 March 1920, and preparations began for the move.[2] However, the ultimate fate of Recruit after its move is undetermined.
