EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1891 and 1901, depicts the U.S.S. Newark anchored in a tranquil body of water. Two figures, identified as Paymaster Wright and clerk Gressitt, are seen standing on the deck of the vessel. The U.S.S. Newark was a cruiser in the United States Navy during this period, and its crew played a crucial role in naval warfare and transportation. Paymaster Wright, dressed in his formal attire, holds a ledger or account book in his hands, while clerk Gressitt, wearing a crisp uniform, looks attentively at the paymaster. Their serious expressions suggest the importance of their job, which involved managing the financial affairs of the ship and its crew. The photograph was taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, a popular photographic technique of the time. The image is a testament to the rich history of the United States Navy and the vital roles played by its personnel, both on and off the battlefield. The U.S.S. Newark, a symbol of American naval power, is anchored in the background, its sails furled and guns pointed towards the horizon. The image is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the daily life of the crew and the technological advancements of the time. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of American history, military history, or maritime history. It is a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who served in the United States Navy, and the crucial role they played in shaping the nation's history.
