EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1896 and 1899, depicts a signal party of the U.S.S. Brooklyn, an American cruiser, at work during the late 19th century. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was one of the most advanced battleships of its time, and this image showcases a group of dedicated crewmen engaged in the crucial task of signaling to other ships. The men in this photograph are dressed in their full naval uniforms, complete with peaked caps, collared shirts, and trousers. Some wear heavy coats and scarves, indicating that this scene may have been captured during colder months. Each man holds a signal flag, which they use to convey specific messages to other ships. The large banner in the background, likely bearing the ship's name or insignia, adds to the sense of history and tradition. This glass negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, was taken by an unknown photographer and is now part of the vast collection at the Library of Congress. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a naval crew during this era, providing a fascinating look at the communication methods and fashion of the time. The U.S.S. Brooklyn and her crew played a significant role in the naval warfare of the late 19th century, and this photograph serves as a testament to their dedication and skill.
