EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph, taken by Edward H. Hart on July 5, 1899, captures the U.S.S. New York as it sails the open waters with its distinctive bridge and pilot house prominently featured. The U.S.S. New York was an armored cruiser built by the Cramps Shipbuilding Company in Philadelphia and was commissioned by the United States Navy in 1898. The ship was named after the famous American state and was part of the navy's Atlantic Fleet. In this image, we see a group of sailors on the deck, engaged in various tasks related to the ship's navigation and operation. The bridge, located at the foremast, is where the ship's captain and officers would have directed the vessel's course. The pilot house, a smaller structure at the front of the bridge, was used by the pilot to guide the ship into port. The U.S.S. New York was armed with a battery of guns, some of which can be seen in the background of the photograph. The ship's gun turret, a large, rotating structure used to house and launch the ship's heavy artillery, is also visible. This photograph is a rare glimpse into the daily life of a naval crew during the late 19th century. It offers a fascinating look at the technology, people, and history of the United States Navy during a time of great expansion and modernization. The image is a dry plate negative, a photographic process that was popular during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This photograph is part of the Edward H. Hart collection, held by the Library of Congress in Washington D.C.
