Working on the 'Florida', 1911
EDITORS COMMENTS
A glimpse into a bygone era of American naval warfare is captured in this striking photograph print taken by George Grantham Bain's renowned news service, Bain News Service. Dated to 1911, the image shows workers laboring diligently alongside the USS Florida (BB-30), a battleship docked at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York.
The black and white capture conveys a sense of industry and purpose as men clad in overalls and caps go about their duties on deck. The ship's massive hull looms large, its imposing presence underscoring the importance of naval power during this pivotal moment in American history.
This photograph is part of Bain News Service Photograph Collection at the Library of Congress, a treasure trove of historical images that offer a unique window into the past. With over 40,000 glass negatives and prints spanning from 1897 to 1925, this collection provides an unparalleled visual record of early 20th-century America.
In "Working on the 'Florida', 1911", we are treated to a rare glimpse of everyday life at sea during World War I era. The image not only showcases the men who kept these mighty warships running but also highlights their dedication and perseverance in the face of adversity.
