Several names...

....for this "armored cruiser" of a pre-Dreadnought configuration. She was laid down as the New York, was rechristened the Saratoga when a full battleship got the name "New York", and then became the "Rochester" when the name "Saratoga" was given to a new battlecruiser.

Judging by the arms, it looks like those men are no strangers to working oars!
