EDITORS COMMENTS
On May 16, 1914, in the heart of Washington D.C., a grand unveiling ceremony took place to reveal the newly erected Statue of Commodore John Barry. The event was attended by a large crowd, including dignitaries and military personnel, all gathered to pay tribute to the American Revolutionary War hero. Commodore John Barry, a native of County Wexford, Ireland, was a key figure in the early United States Navy. He served under George Washington and played a crucial role in several naval battles during the American Revolution. Barry's contributions to the new nation's maritime defense were invaluable, and his legacy deserved recognition. The statue, created by sculptor George W. Harris, was unveiled in a ceremony filled with military honors, parades, and speeches. The crowd, dressed in their Sunday best, watched as the statue was revealed, with some donning straw boaters and other fashionable apparel of the era. Transportation was provided by streetcars and other road transport, ensuring that attendees from all corners of the city could make it to the event. The atmosphere was electric, filled with a sense of pride and patriotism as the community came together to honor Commodore John Barry and his enduring legacy. This photograph, taken by Harris & Ewing, captures the essence of the day – a moment in history where the past and present intersected, and the community came together to celebrate the achievements of one of their own.
