EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston in 1901, captures a moment in history at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. The image features a semi-circle of midshipmen from the class of 1902, including future admiral James Otto Richardson, seated on the Second Class Bench in front of the Tripoli Monument. Established in 1845, the United States Naval Academy is the oldest of the five federal service academies and educates officers for the United States Navy and Marine Corps. The midshipmen in this photograph are dressed in their uniforms, displaying a sense of pride and discipline as they gaze out at the water. The Tripoli Monument, located at the academy's entrance, commemorates the First Barbary War and the United States Navy's first engagement with a foreign fleet. The photograph provides a glimpse into the rich heritage of naval education and military tradition in the United States during the early 20th century. This image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress and serves as an important historical record of the United States Navy and its cadets.
