EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1896 and 1899, depicts a group of sailors on the gun deck of the U.S.S. Brooklyn, an American cruiser of the Brooklyn class. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was one of the first modern cruisers in the United States Navy, designed for long-range cruising and capable of carrying a formidable armament. The sailors in this image are intently focused on their tasks, with some handling firearms and others preparing ammunition. Their determined expressions and postures convey the importance of their roles in the naval warfare of the late 19th century. The gun deck, with its intricate machinery and vast array of guns, serves as the backdrop to this scene, highlighting the technological advancements of the time. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative process on glass, a common technique during the 19th century. The image, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, providing a valuable glimpse into the history of the U.S. Navy and the lives of its sailors during this era. The U.S.S. Brooklyn, with its impressive gun deck and dedicated crew, represents the United States' commitment to naval power and its role in shaping the world during the late 19th century. This photograph, captured by an unknown photographer, offers a poignant reminder of the human element in naval warfare and the sacrifices made by those who served.
