This 8 x 10 inch photograph depicts the U.S.S. Enterprise, an American naval cruiser, between the late 1890s and early 1900s. The exact date of this image is unknown, but it captures the steam-powered vessel in its prime during a period of significant expansion and modernization of the United States Navy. The U.S.S. Enterprise, commissioned in 1898, was the third ship of the name in the U.S. Navy. It was a protected cruiser, designed for both cruising and combat, and was armed with a main battery of four 8-inch guns. This photograph, likely taken from a dock or quay, showcases the Enterprise's distinctive profile, with its tall, slender funnel and multiple masts. During this time, the U.S. Navy was undergoing a major transformation, shifting from sail to steam power and focusing on building a modern, efficient fleet. The Enterprise was a key part of this effort, serving in the Philippine-American War and the Boxer Rebellion before being decommissioned in 1913. This photograph, a dry plate or glass negative, is a rare surviving artifact of the era and offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of American naval warfare and transportation. It is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich heritage and cultural significance of this period in American history.
