EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Squadron of Evolution, 1889: U.S.S. Chicago, U.S.S. Yorktown, U.S.S. Boston, U.S.S. Atlanta," offers a glimpse into the rich maritime history of the United States Navy during the late 19th century. The image, created by an unknown photographer, captures four distinctive naval vessels anchored in a body of water. The U.S.S. Chicago, U.S.S. Yorktown, U.S.S. Boston, and U.S.S. Atlanta are all prominently displayed in this black and white, dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in photograph. The U.S.S. Chicago and U.S.S. Atlanta are gunboats, while the U.S.S. Yorktown and U.S.S. Boston are cruisers. These ships were part of the Squadron of Evolution, a group of naval vessels that underwent modernization and training exercises in the late 1880s. The photograph, held in the Library of Congress, provides a fascinating look at naval warfare during this era. The ships are shown with their sails unfurled, indicating that they were not only used for battles but also for transportation and exploration. The U.S.S. Chicago, for example, was used as a transport ship during the Spanish-American War in 1898. The photograph is a testament to the technological advancements of the time, as well as the importance of the U.S. Navy in protecting American interests both at home and abroad. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable addition to the historical record and a reminder of the rich naval heritage of the United States. This photograph is not to be confused with the Detroit Publishing Company, which published similar images during the same time period. It is a unique and valuable historical artifact in its own right, and a reminder of the important role that naval vessels played in American history.
