EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a historic moment on board the U.S.S. New York during the anniversary commemoration of the Battle of Santiago de Cuba on July 3, 1899. The image, a dry plate glass negative measuring 8 x 10 inches, was taken by an unknown photographer and is now part of the extensive collection at the Library of Congress. The U.S.S. New York, a cruiser of the United States Navy, played a significant role in the Spanish-American War, particularly during the Battle of Santiago de Cuba. To honor this past, a 4-round boxing bout was organized on board the ship, showcasing the camaraderie and spirit among the crew. The black and white image reveals a tense moment in the boxing match, with two sailors squaring off against each other in the center of the ring. The crowd of onlookers, consisting of fellow sailors and crewmen, can be seen in the background, their expressions a mix of excitement and anticipation. The U.S.S. New York, with its impressive silhouette, serves as the backdrop to this unique event. This photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the U.S. Navy during the late 19th century, showcasing the blend of military discipline, camaraderie, and leisure activities that were integral to the lives of the sailors and crewmen. The image's historical significance is further emphasized by its inclusion in the prestigious Library of Congress collection, making it an invaluable piece of American heritage.
