EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a powerful moment in history as Reverend Herbert Shipman addresses Navy recruits under the guns of the U.S.S. Recruit, a fake battleship built in Union Square, New York City during World War I. As an Episcopal suffragen bishop and military chaplain, Shipman's presence exudes authority and leadership as he speaks to the young men preparing to serve their country.
The image is filled with symbolism of patriotism and duty, with the looming guns of the battleship representing the gravity of war. Shipman's role as a spiritual guide for these recruits adds another layer of significance to the scene, highlighting the importance of faith and moral support during times of conflict.
In this photograph from 1917, we see not only a historical moment frozen in time but also a reminder of the sacrifices made by those who answered their country's call to arms. The determination on Shipman's face mirrors that of the young soldiers before him, united in their commitment to defend freedom and uphold justice.
This image serves as a poignant reminder of our shared history and honors those who bravely served their country during one of its most challenging periods.
