Adding other senses from the kokugos. I'm assuming they're archaic.

Early 1900s, the reference at furigana.info appears to be a text of sufficient note to get a decent-sized wikipedia page and a series of short films, in any case
神州天馬侠』(しんしゅうてんまきょう)は、吉川英治初期の少年冒険小説。1925年(大正14年)5月から1928年(昭和3年)12月まで講談社『少年倶楽部』に連載された長編小説である。現行は講談社文庫版の吉川英治歴史時代文庫全3巻。

Google N-gram Corpus Counts
春霜	2244. (no battleship)
しゅんそう	11243
はるしも	26
秋霜	5171 (has a battleship named after it)
しゅうそう	17099
あきしも	118
早霜	1087 (has a battleship)
はやじも	61 ("classical"/correct reading)
はやしも	915 (battleship name)
  Comments:
Making this suggestion because of the incongruity with 春霜, where the reading はるしも was added in 2013. I imagine the use cases for しゅんそう・はるしも and しゅうそう、あきしも are roughly comparable.

It seems like the evidence suggests that しゅうそう is the correct, historical, poetic reading.  But maybe naming a battleship あきしも didn't do the historic reading any favors(though the furigana.info reference predates even that).
