EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Olympia, 1899" by Frances Benjamin Johnston, offers a glimpse into the unique and unexpected world of sailors aboard the U.S.S. Olympia during the late 19th century. The image, captured as a cyanotype, showcases a group of sailors engaged in an unconventional activity – waltzing at tiffin time on the deck of the naval warship. The men, dressed in their navy uniforms, form couples and twirl gracefully, creating a striking contrast against the backdrop of the blue sea and the gray, monochrome hull of the ship. The U.S.S. Olympia, a protected cruiser, was a significant part of the United States Navy during the late 19th century, having seen action in various naval engagements. However, this photograph reveals a more human side to the lives of the sailors, showcasing an unusual moment of leisure and camaraderie on board. Frances Benjamin Johnston, an accomplished American photographer, captured this moment with her camera, preserving it for future generations. The photograph is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress, offering a fascinating glimpse into the history and culture of the United States during the late 1800s. This image, with its unusual subject matter and stunning visual appeal, continues to intrigue and inspire, inviting viewers to reflect on the rich heritage and diverse experiences of the past.
