Brooklyn was a one-off design, more like a French ship than an American. More lightly armored than the New York to which it is compared, but more guns (in an unusual arrangement). Successful career in the Spanish American War, then used is a neutrality patrol ship before the US entered WWI. Later sent to the Asiatic fleet.
I’m not buying the steward’s story as to how the old lady (she was 42, explaining her ill health) went into the water. She had to be carried from room to room, and too infirm to go to the dining room, but he had her climbing to the top rail and jumping in.
He probably had enough of her attitude, and pitched her over the rail.
