EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "The United States Fleet at Key West, the Torpedo Boat 'Cushing' carrying despatches to the Flagship" takes us back to a significant moment in history. Created by an anonymous English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a scene during the Spanish-American War. In this vibrant illustration for The Graphic newspaper on May 7,1898, we witness the bustling naval activity at Key West. The focal point is undoubtedly the torpedo boat "Cushing" gracefully cutting through the waves as it carries crucial dispatches to the flagship. This small vessel stands out amidst a sea of larger ships, symbolizing its vital role in communication and coordination within the fleet. As our eyes wander across this detailed engraving, we can spot other notable elements such as armoured cruiser New York and battleship Indiana among several others that form part of the formidable United States Fleet. These vessels serve as a reminder of America's military might during this historic conflict. This lithograph not only showcases naval power but also highlights unity between different branches of armed forces. In addition to warships, troops from both navy and army are depicted alongside their respective vessels. Their presence emphasizes collaboration and joint efforts towards achieving victory. Preserved in a private collection today, this artwork from Bridgeman Images allows us to glimpse into an important chapter in American history – one where strength and determination prevailed on land and sea alike during times of conflict.
