EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Cleaning 12'' gun, between 1910 and 1920," captures a moment of diligent maintenance on board a US Navy battleship during the early 1900s. The image, created by Harris & Ewing, showcases a group of sailors in their military uniforms, meticulously cleaning a large 12-inch gun. The sailors are dressed in their formal attire, with white shirts, blue jackets, and hats adorned with insignia. The gun, a crucial component of naval warfare, is being cleaned with a long chain, ensuring its readiness for battle. The photograph, taken on the deck of the battleship, offers a glimpse into the daily life of US Navy personnel during this era. The sailors, focused on their task, display a sense of discipline and camaraderie. The background of the image reveals the vastness of the ocean, highlighting the isolation and the immense responsibility of those serving on the ship. The photograph, a glass negative from the Harris & Ewing Collection, is a testament to the rich history of the US Navy and the crucial role it played in American military history. The image, although simple, conveys the concept of dedication, discipline, and the importance of maintaining equipment for the safety and security of the nation.
