U.S.S. Oregon in Dry Dock, Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1898 Aug-Oct
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating photograph taken by William H. Jackson, showcasing the U.S.S. Oregon as it undergoes maintenance in the Brooklyn Navy Yard during the late 19th century. The image, taken between August and October of 1898, depicts the battleship in a graving dock, surrounded by cranes and other naval vessels. The U.S.S. Oregon, an Indiana-class pre-dreadnought, was a formidable warship of the United States Navy. Its presence in the Brooklyn Navy Yard was a testament to the country's industrial might and its commitment to maintaining a strong naval fleet. The photograph captures the ship's impressive size and the intricate process of docking and maintaining such a large vessel. The scene is bustling with activity, with men working on the ship and cranes lifting heavy equipment. The graving dock, a type of dry dock, is filled with water, allowing the U.S.S. Oregon to be raised and lowered as needed for maintenance and repairs. The image also offers a glimpse into the naval shipyard's landscape, with other vessels and industrial structures visible in the background. This photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a valuable historical record of naval warfare and shipbuilding during the late 19th century. It is now part of the collections of the Library of Congress and serves as an important reminder of the United States' rich naval history. The image, taken by the renowned photographer William H. Jackson, is a testament to the skill and artistry of the era's photographers and their ability to capture history in action.
