EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph, captured in 1896, depicts a group of petty officers from the United States Navy's U.S.S. Maine. The U.S.S. Maine was a battleship of the second Pennsylvania class, renowned for its distinctive black hull and powerful armament. The petty officers, dressed in their formal uniforms, exude an air of authority and discipline. Their attire consists of white shirts, black neckties, and dark trousers, topped with double-breasted pea coats and wide-brimmed hats. The photograph was taken during the late 19th century, a time when the United States Navy was undergoing significant expansion and modernization. This image offers a glimpse into the daily life of the crew, showcasing the meticulous attention to detail and adherence to tradition that were hallmarks of the United States Navy during this era. The photograph is a dry plate negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, and was taken by an unknown photographer. It is now part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich naval history of the United States. The image serves as a reminder of the vital role that the U.S. Navy played in the country's history, particularly during periods of conflict and international tension.
