EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous event during the First World War, as Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels addresses a crowd gathered at the U.S.S. Recruit in Union Square, New York City on March 16, 1918. The Recruit was not an ordinary battleship - it was actually a fake ship built by the Navy to recruit seamen and sell Liberty Bonds to support the war effort.
In this image, we see Secretary Daniels standing tall amidst a group of eager listeners, his presence commanding attention as he delivers an important speech. The atmosphere is charged with patriotism and determination as Americans come together to show their support for their country during this challenging time.
The historical significance of this moment is palpable in every detail captured by Bain News Service's lens. From the expressions on people's faces to the architectural marvel of the makeshift ship itself, every element tells a story of unity and resilience in the face of adversity.
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 inspired to carry on their legacy of courage and strength. This print serves as a powerful reminder that even in times of turmoil, hope can be found when communities come together for a common cause.
