EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a unique moment in the history of the USS New York during the anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1899. In this black and white image, three crewmen are seen participating in a three-legged race, adding a playful touch to the solemn occasion. The USS New York, a cruiser of the United States Navy, played a significant role in the Spanish-American War, particularly in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, which marked a turning point in the conflict. The dry plate glass negative, produced by an unknown photographer, measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the extensive collections at the Library of Congress. The image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the crew, showcasing their camaraderie and sense of humor amidst the military setting. The men, dressed in their naval uniforms, are seen in various stages of the race, with one man in the lead, another in the middle, and the third in the background, ready to start. This photograph not only serves as a historical record of the USS New York's anniversary celebration but also as a reminder of the human side of naval warfare and the bonds formed among sailors.
