EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. Newark, berth deck, between 1891 and 1901," captures a moment of relaxation and recreation on board the protected cruiser U.S.S. Newark during the late 19th or early 20th century. Taken by renowned photographer William H. Jackson, the image provides a glimpse into the daily life of the crew during this era. The photograph was likely taken on the berth deck, an indoor space where sailors could rest and recuperate when not on duty. The men are dressed in various stages of undress, some in full uniform while others are in shirtsleeves or even barefoot. Their clothing, a mix of formal navy apparel and casual attire, reflects the transitional period between the 19th and 20th centuries. The U.S.S. Newark, a Cramps-built cruiser, was commissioned in 1891 and served in the U.S. Navy until 1911. This photograph, taken during its active service, offers a unique perspective on naval warfare and the lives of those who served aboard these vessels. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in image, part of the Edwin H. Husher Collection at the Library of Congress, is a testament to the rich history of the U.S. Navy and the men who served on its ships. The photograph's composition, with the men arranged in a group, adds a sense of camaraderie and shared experience, making it a valuable addition to any collection of maritime or historical photography.
