EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. New York, Chaplain Royce" by William H. Jackson, captures a significant moment in American naval history between 1893 and 1901. The image features Chaplain Alfred Lee Royce, dressed in full clerical attire, standing profile against the backdrop of the U.S.S. New York. The U.S.S. New York was an armored cruiser, built by the Cramps Shipbuilding Company in Philadelphia, and was the first American warship to bear the name of the famous city. The ship was commissioned in 1893 and was a symbol of American naval power during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Chaplain Royce, dressed in his religious garb, adds a sense of spirituality and tradition to the photograph. His attire, consisting of a long robe and collar, is reminiscent of the Christian faith he represented on board the ship. The photograph was taken during a time when religion played a significant role in American society, and the presence of a chaplain on a naval vessel was essential for the moral and spiritual well-being of the crew. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, and the image quality is remarkable, capturing every detail of Chaplain Royce's attire and the intricate design of the U.S.S. New York. The photograph is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of the era, providing a glimpse into the past and the role of religion and naval warfare during that time. The photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress and is a valuable addition to any American history or naval history archive. It is a reminder of the rich heritage and history of the United States and the important role that its naval fleet played in shaping the world.
