EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. Massachusetts in Dry Dock," was captured by William H. Jackson between 1896 and 1901. The image showcases the U.S.S. Massachusetts, a pre-dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy, as it undergoes maintenance in a graving dock. The ship, with its imposing profile and intricate details, is a testament to the industrial prowess of the late 19th and early 20th centuries in America. The U.S.S. Massachusetts, named after the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, was the third ship in the Massachusetts-class of battleships. Launched in 1896, it was one of the most advanced warships of its time, boasting a displacement of over 12,000 tons and armed with a main battery of ten 10-inch guns. This photograph, taken during the ship's maintenance period, offers a unique perspective of the U.S.S. Massachusetts as it sits in the dry dock, surrounded by the hustle and bustle of the shipyard. The image, a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a valuable addition to the historical record of the United States Navy and the country's maritime history. The photograph is part of the collection of the Library of Congress, and was taken by William H. Jackson, a prolific photographer who documented various aspects of American life during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This photograph, with its rich historical significance and artistic merit, continues to captivate viewers and scholars alike, offering a glimpse into the past and the evolution of naval warfare.
