Incorrect date...

I believe the date of the photo is wrong... Maybe the publication date?

According to several news articles of the times, the USS WISCONSIN went aground on Diamond Rock on 22 AUGUST 1955 and was freed the following day.

Wisconsin grounding

Hi Tom,
You are referring to the 22 August 1951 grounding, I assume.
This one was in 1955, on her way to the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
She had two New York City harbor groundings indeed
