Kansas U.S.N., 1917 - A Testament to Naval Power
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking black-and-white photograph taken in 1917, the USS Kansas (BB-13), a pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, proudly displays its cage mast and imposing presence on the open sea. Created by renowned photographer George Grantham Bain's news service, this image captures a pivotal moment in American naval history.
As one of the earliest commissioned ships to bear the name "Kansas," USS Kansas played a significant role during World War I, serving as part of the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet. This photograph not only showcases the ship's impressive size and design but also highlights its importance as a symbol of national power and prestige.
The image is rendered in stunning black-and-white tones, with subtle gradations that evoke the drama and majesty of this naval behemoth. The USS Kansas' imposing presence on the horizon serves as a reminder of America's growing military might during World War I, while also paying tribute to its rich maritime heritage.
This photograph has been preserved by Heritage Images for future generations to appreciate, offering a unique glimpse into the nation's past and serving as an enduring testament to American naval power.
