EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating back to the late 19th century, captures the U.S.S. Chicago and her commanding officer, Captain Charles Henry Rockwell, in 1899. The image, a dry plate negative, was taken by an unknown photographer and is now held in the collections of the Library of Congress. The U.S.S. Chicago, a cruiser of the United States Navy, is depicted here with sails set and anchored in the background. Captain Rockwell, a Rear Admiral in the Navy, stands on the deck, dressed in full naval uniform, with a serious expression as he looks up towards the rigging of the ship. The crew, clad in their own uniforms, can be seen in the background, some engaged in various tasks on board, while others man the lifeboats, ensuring the safety of the ship and its passengers. The photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of naval warfare during the late 19th century, as well as the fashion and clothing of the time. The U.S.S. Chicago, a significant vessel in the history of the United States Navy, is seen here in a moment of calm before setting sail once again. The image, a testament to the heritage and history of naval transportation, continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and historical significance.
