EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a moment in time aboard the U.S.S. Brooklyn during the late 1890s. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was a cruiser in the United States Navy, commissioned in 1896. In this image, Japanese stewards are seen at work, likely preparing meals for the ship's crew. The stewards are dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, which was allowed as part of the Navy's policy of employing foreign laborers. The use of Japanese stewards was common in the late 19th century as the United States Navy expanded its fleet and the demand for labor increased. The photograph is a dry plate glass negative, taken between 1896 and 1899. It measures 8 x 10 inches and is part of the collections of the Library of Congress. The image provides a unique glimpse into the multicultural makeup of the U.S. Navy during this period and the diverse experiences of its crew. The men in the photograph are focused on their tasks, their expressions revealing a sense of purpose and dedication to their work. The contrast between the formal uniforms of the American sailors and the traditional Japanese clothing of the stewards adds to the intrigue of the image. Overall, this photograph is an important historical artifact that sheds light on the complexities of naval life during the late 19th century and the role of Japanese laborers in the United States Navy.
