EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating piece of history - the Arbuckle Deep Sea Hotel in New York City, circa 1910-15. The image showcases the Stamler, a ship anchored off the coast of Manhattan that was transformed into living quarters for low-income working young adults by John Arbuckle, founder of Arbuckles coffee business. In an era marked by social inequality and limited affordable housing options, this innovative solution provided much-needed accommodation for those struggling to make ends meet. The floating hotel offered a unique alternative to traditional apartments or tenements, catering specifically to the needs of the working class. The photo offers a glimpse into life aboard this unconventional dwelling. It reveals rows of beds neatly arranged in what appears to be a dormitory-style setting. Simple furniture and basic amenities can be seen throughout the interior space, providing residents with essential comforts amidst their challenging circumstances. This snapshot not only highlights an interesting architectural concept but also sheds light on the social history of America during the Gilded Age. It serves as a reminder that even in times of poverty and hardship, individuals like John Arbuckle sought creative solutions to address pressing societal issues. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable photograph from its collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance today.
