Construction
Initially conceived as an improved New York, the Brooklyn's design was far more trendy than her predecessor. Her hull reflected distinct French influence, and an increase in displacement of a thousand tons resulted in high freeboard and noticeable tumblehome. This distinct hull shape in combination with two heavy military masts and three tall funnels created a unique, handsome vessel with much superior seakeeping abilities to the New York.[9][10][11]
Brooklyn was launched on 2 October, 1895 by William Cramp & Sons, sponsored by Miss Ida May Schieren.
Service
Brooklyn was commissioned on 1 December, 1896, with Captain Francis A. Cook in command.
She was stricken on 20 December, 1921 and sold the same day. Her new owners towed her to San Francisco, where she was broken up.[12]
