She had tours of duty in South America, the Mediterranean, North and Central America, Hawaii, and the Philippines. On July 21, 1905, while in San Diego Harbor, the Bennington's boiler exploded, killing sixty-six men and injuring many more. This photograph appears to have been taken after the explosion.
