EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels aboard the U.S.S. Recruit on March 16, 1918. The Recruit, a fake battleship constructed in Union Square, New York City by the Navy during World War I, served as a unique recruitment tool and platform for selling Liberty Bonds. In this image taken by George Graham Bain of Bain News Service, we see Daniels surrounded by a crowd of men as he tours the mock ship.
The significance of this moment in history is palpable - it represents a time when America was deeply entrenched in the First World War and every effort was being made to support the war effort. Daniels' visit to the Recruit symbolizes his dedication to rallying support for the military and raising funds through bond sales.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us and their unwavering commitment to defending our country. The legacy of Secretary Josephus Daniels lives on through images like these that capture pivotal moments in American history.
