EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. Miantonomoh, mounting 10 inch guns, between 1891 and 1901," captures a significant moment in the history of the United States Navy. Taken by Edward H. Hart, the image depicts the USS Miantonomoh, a monitor-class ironclad warship, undergoing the process of mounting 10-inch guns between the years 1891 and 1901. The ship, which was named after the Native American chief Miantonomoh, was one of several monitors built for the US Navy in the late 19th century to counter the threat of torpedo boats and other small, fast-moving vessels. The photograph shows the crew and men on board the ship, working diligently to install the new guns on the deck. The gun turret, with its large, imposing structure, dominates the foreground, while the men in the background can be seen working on the ship's deck, some of them standing on the rigging, others gathered around the guns. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the industrial and naval history of the United States during the late 19th century. The dry plate negative technique used by Hart adds to the photograph's historical significance, as it was a popular photographic process during that era. Today, this photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress, serving as an important reminder of the country's rich maritime heritage and naval warfare history.
