EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the USS New York, an American cruiser, engaged in a 10-round boxing bout on the occasion of the anniversary of the Battle of Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1899. The image, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, provides a glimpse into the unique blend of military and recreational activities that took place aboard naval vessels during this era. The USS New York, a formidable warship of the United States Navy, is shown anchored in a tranquil body of water, with the crew and sailors gathered on the deck to witness the boxing match. The men, dressed in their naval uniforms, display a range of emotions, from intense focus and determination to lighthearted amusement. The photograph, created by an unknown photographer and published by Detroit Publishing Company, offers a fascinating glimpse into the daily life of the crew and the camaraderie that existed among them. The image is a testament to the rich history of naval warfare and the unique experiences of those who served on these vessels during the late 19th century. The USS New York played a significant role in the Spanish-American War, participating in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, which marked a turning point in the conflict. The anniversary commemoration of this battle, as depicted in the photograph, highlights the importance of military tradition and the morale-boosting role of recreational activities for soldiers and sailors during times of war.
