EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Junior Naval Scout on the U.S.S. Recruit in 1917, during World War I. The young recruit is seen semaphore flag signalling on the deck of the fake battleship, which was built in Union Square, New York City by the Navy as a recruitment tool and to promote the sale of Liberty Bonds.
The image showcases a moment frozen in time, highlighting the dedication and patriotism of young boys who served their country during a time of great need. The photograph exudes a sense of history and nostalgia, transporting viewers back to an era defined by naval warfare and national unity.
As we gaze upon this piece of heritage art, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who came before us to protect our freedoms and way of life. The Junior Naval Scout symbolizes courage, determination, and a willingness to serve one's country with pride.
Through his actions on board the U.S.S. Recruit, this young sailor embodies the spirit of duty and honor that has long been associated with the United States Navy. His role in recruiting new seamen reflects a commitment to ensuring that America remains strong and secure for future generations.
In this powerful image captured by Bain News Service, we witness not just a boy at sea but a symbol of American resilience and resolve in the face of adversity.
