EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the U.S.S. Maine and U.S.S. New York anchored at Grant's Tomb during the dedication celebration on April 27, 1897. The Maine, a battleship, and the New York, a cruiser, were both prominent naval vessels of the United States Navy during the late 19th century. The image showcases the grandeur of these warships, with their intricate details and impressive size, as they gracefully rest in the water against the backdrop of Grant's Tomb. The event marked a significant moment in American history, as the country continued to expand its naval power and assert its presence on the global stage. The U.S.S. Maine had gained notoriety just a few years prior, when it was destroyed in the Havana Harbor in 1898, leading to the Spanish-American War. The New York, on the other hand, was a newer addition to the fleet and represented the latest advancements in naval technology. The photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, captures the ceremonial atmosphere of the day. Soldiers and sailors are seen standing at attention on the decks of the ships, while a company of soldiers marches in formation on the shore. The image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when military might and national pride were on full display. This historic photograph, taken by an unknown photographer, is a valuable addition to any collection of American history or naval warfare. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage and tradition of the United States Navy and the pivotal role it has played in shaping the country's history.
