EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken between 1896 and 1901, showcases the U.S.S. Massachusetts and her 6-inch gun crew. The Massachusetts was a proud addition to the United States Navy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This image, likely a dry plate glass negative, measures 8 x 10 inches and was taken indoors, possibly at the Congressional Library or another historical institution. The Massachusetts, a battleship of the Boston-class, was named after the commonwealth of Massachusetts and was the fourth U.S. Navy vessel to bear this historic name. In the photograph, the crew, composed of men in navy uniforms, are seen in a focused and determined stance as they prepare to load and fire the 6-inch gun. The gun, a significant component of naval warfare during this era, was a powerful weapon that could fire a projectile up to 6 miles. The image, created by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and duties of the sailors and marines who served aboard this impressive warship.
