EDITORS COMMENTS
Stepping up to the plate on board ship! This photograph print captures a moment in time for the Baseball team on the USS Washington (ACR-11), circa 1911. The armored cruiser, later renamed USS Seattle, serves as an unlikely backdrop for this group of determined athletes.
The players' faces are set with focus and determination, their eyes fixed intently on the camera lens. Their baseball uniforms are crisp and clean, adorned with lettering that proudly displays their team's name. One player stands out from the rest, his bat held at a slight angle as if ready to swing into action.
This striking image is courtesy of Bain News Service, pioneers in press photography during this era. The photograph was taken using glass negatives and later printed on paper for widespread distribution. Today, it forms part of the esteemed collection housed within the Library of Congress's Heritage Images archive.
Step aboard with us as we relive a moment from America's rich sporting heritage - when baseball met naval warfare in an unexpected yet thrilling combination!
