[or-roots] Battleship Oregon

[LinLouVan at aol.com]

Since this has been a recent topic, I am posting this little notice from the
"Junction City Times" newspaper dated September 2, 1893, Vol. !!, No. 48
    The battle-ship Oregon at San Francisco is now completed with the 
exception of placing her armor in position. Had the necessary materials not been 
delayed by the government she would have been launched two month ago. She will be 
launched either October 26 or November 26. Exclusive of armament, it is said, 
the Oregon will cost nearly $4,000,000.
