EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a momentous occasion on Memorial Day, May 30, 1917 - the christening party of the U.S.S. Recruit. The U.S.S. Recruit was not your typical battleship; it was actually a fake ship built in Union Square, New York City by the Navy as a unique way to recruit seamen and sell Liberty Bonds during World War I.
In this image, we see a large crowd gathered around the landship Recruit, eagerly watching as the ceremonial launch takes place. The atmosphere is filled with excitement and patriotism as people come together to support their country in its time of need.
The significance of this event is palpable - it represents not only the dedication of those who served in the United States Navy during World War I but also serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by so many for their country.
As we look back on this piece of history captured by Bain News Service, we are reminded of the importance of unity and strength in times of adversity. The legacy of events like these continues to inspire us today, reminding us that when we come together as one nation, there is no challenge too great to overcome.
