Capt. Riley and His Lifeguards: A Guardian Team at Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York, between 1900 and 1905 This photograph, taken between 1900 and 1905, showcases Capt. Riley and his dedicated team of lifeguards at the iconic Coney Island beach in Brooklyn, New York. The image, captured on a dry plate glass 8 x 10 in negative, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the importance of water safety during the early 1900s. The scene is set at the coastline, where the lifeguards are seen standing at attention, dressed in their distinctive uniforms and bathing suits. The team, consisting of several men, exudes a sense of professionalism and readiness, as they gaze directly at the camera with a determined expression. In the foreground, a young boy and children playfully interact, adding a touch of innocence and joy to the image. The photograph serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Coney Island, which was a popular holiday destination for Americans during the 1900s. The lifeguards' presence at the beach was essential for ensuring the safety of holidaymakers, who traveled from all corners of the country to enjoy the seaside and engage in various recreational activities, such as swimming and sunbathing. This photograph, from the Library of Congress, is a testament to the pastimes and professions that shaped the United States during the early 20th century. It invites us to reflect on the importance of water safety, teamwork, and the simple joys of a day at the beach.
