EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1896 and 1899, depicts members of the U.S.S. Brooklyn's crew engaged in a single stick exercise. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was a cruiser of the Brooklyn class, which was the first class of armored cruisers built for the United States Navy. The crewmen, dressed in their full naval uniforms, are shown practicing this martial art, which was an essential part of their training regimen. Single stick exercise, also known as cane fighting or singlestick, was a popular form of self-defense and hand-to-hand combat used by sailors and soldiers during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The photograph, taken as a dry plate negative on glass, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a U.S. Navy crew during this era, showcasing their discipline, focus, and commitment to their duties. The men, standing in a line, hold their cudgels, or single sticks, at the ready, focusing intently on their instructors. The photograph's composition and the crisp details of the clothing and equipment reveal the skill and expertise of the photographer, whose identity remains unknown. This photograph is an essential addition to any collection focusing on American history, naval warfare, or the 19th century. It offers a fascinating insight into the daily life and training of the U.S. Navy crew during this period, providing a captivating and enduring record of a bygone era.
