- A Historic Moment Captured on Film
This striking photograph print captures a momentous occasion in American history. Taken by George Grantham Bain, the founder of the renowned news agency, Bain News Service, this black and white image shows the arrival of the Olympic steamship at an unidentified dock or wharf in 1911.
The Olympic was one of the largest ships to have been built up until that point, measuring over 700 feet long. Its massive size is evident from its imposing presence on screen. The photograph provides a glimpse into life during this era, showcasing not only the grandeur of the ship but also the bustling activity at dockside.
The Bain News Service was instrumental in capturing and disseminating news through photographs to newspapers across America. This print serves as a testament to their dedication to documenting significant events that shaped American history. The Library of Congress has preserved this image for future generations, ensuring its significance is not lost over time.
This photograph offers an intriguing glimpse into the past, transporting viewers back in time to experience the excitement and energy surrounding major maritime arrivals like this one.
