EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. Oregon in Dry Dock, Brooklyn Navy Yard, 1898 Aug-Oct," captures a significant moment in American naval history. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image presents the U.S.S. Oregon, an Indiana-class pre-dreadnought battleship, undergoing maintenance in the Graving Dock at the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The U.S.S. Oregon, commissioned in 1897, was one of the first battleships built for the United States Navy following the Spanish-American War. Its impressive size and firepower reflected the growing industrial capabilities and military might of the country. In this photograph, the battleship is docked, surrounded by a bustling scene of activity. Sailors and workers can be seen on the deck, while others are busy at work in the background, likely engaged in various maintenance tasks. The dockyard is filled with other ships, evidence of the extensive naval activity taking place. The image is a testament to the industrial prowess of the United States during the late 19th century. The country was rapidly expanding its naval capabilities, and the Brooklyn Navy Yard was at the forefront of this effort. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the naval yard, providing a unique perspective on the people and processes involved in maintaining the fleet. This photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a valuable historical record of the U.S.S. Oregon and the Brooklyn Navy Yard during a pivotal moment in American history. It is now part of the prestigious collection at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance.
