EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the U.S.S. Chicago in dry dock between 1890 and 1901. The U.S.S. Chicago was a cruiser in the United States Navy, and this image provides a unique glimpse into the naval shipyard during the late 19th century. The ship is seen in a graving dock, surrounded by workers and equipment, as it undergoes repairs and maintenance. The image was likely taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a common photographic technique of the time. The U.S.S. Chicago was a protected cruiser, commissioned in 1893, and saw action in the Spanish-American War in 1898. It was named after the city of Chicago, Illinois, and was part of the Atlantic Fleet. The ship was decommissioned in 1901 and later sold for scrap. This photograph is a valuable historical record of naval warfare during the late 19th century. It offers insight into the daily operations of a naval shipyard and the importance of maintaining the fleet for national defense. The image is held in the collections of the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. The creator of the photograph is unknown, but it is a reminder of the rich maritime heritage of the United States and the important role that naval ships played in American history.
