EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a unique moment in history - the arrival of a captured German U-Boat, the SM UC-5, in New York City in 1917. Renamed "U-Buy-a-Bond," this minelayer submarine was brought to Central Park as part of the Liberty Loan Parade on October 25th. The image shows a curious crowd of civilians gathered around the submarine, showcasing their support for the war effort by purchasing war bonds.
The photograph, taken by George Graham Bain for Bain News Service, is a powerful reminder of the impact of World War I on countries around the world. The sight of this once menacing naval ship now repurposed as a symbol of fundraising and patriotism is both intriguing and thought-provoking.
As we look at this piece of heritage art from the Library of Congress collection, we are transported back to a time when nations were united in their fight against a common enemy. The men standing next to the submarine serve as a reminder of those who bravely fought for their country during wartime.
Overall, this print serves as an important historical document that captures not only an event from over a century ago but also reflects on themes such as sacrifice, unity, and resilience during times of conflict.
