EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white glass negative photograph, taken between 1896 and 1899, captures a moment in the life of a ship's tailor aboard the U.S.S. Brooklyn during the late 19th century. The Brooklyn was a cruiser in the United States Navy, and this image shows a crewman in the midst of his work, seated at a sewing machine with a pile of fabric and various sewing supplies at his side. The tailor's focused expression and the intricacy of the machinery suggest the importance of maintaining the ship's sails and uniforms for optimal performance and morale. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was a part of the Atlantic Fleet during this time and saw action in the Spanish-American War in 1898. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the ship's crew, providing a window into the world of naval warfare during the late 19th century. The photograph is a dry plate negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, and was taken by an unknown photographer. It is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to the historical significance of this image and the rich maritime heritage of the United States.
