EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking photograph from 1912, the German battleship Moltke anchors in Hampton Roads, Virginia, during a visit to the United States. The image, captured by renowned photography studio Harris & Ewing, showcases the impressive size and power of the warship as it sits majestically on the water. The German Squadron, led by the Moltke, made a grand entrance into Hampton Roads, a significant geographical feature and important transportation hub in the United States. The visit was a significant event in the early 20th century, marking a time of diplomatic relations between Germany and the United States. The Moltke, named after the famous German military strategist Helmuth von Moltke, was one of the most advanced battleships of its time. Its imposing presence is evident in this photograph, with its tall smokestacks and intricate details visible from the exterior. The photograph was taken by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing of Harris & Ewing Photographic Studio. Martha Ewing, also known as Martha Kuntze and later Martha Newcombe, was an accomplished photographer in her own right and worked alongside her husband George at the studio. The photograph is part of the George W. Harris Glass Negative Collection at the Library of Congress. The image captures the essence of a bygone era, with the Moltke standing as a symbol of naval power and diplomacy. The water, ships, and sea create a serene backdrop, highlighting the beauty and majesty of the natural world. This photograph is a testament to the rich history of maritime transportation and international relations.
