Coated Curly Retriever Sailor Sailors
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in the year 1905, showcases a loyal and curly-coated Retriever donning a sailor cap. The Retriever, known as the ships' pet, was a common sight aboard naval vessels during the early 20th century. These dogs were highly valued for their ability to retrieve essential items thrown overboard, such as ropes, harpoons, and even messages in bottles. The sailor cap, a symbol of nautical life, was not just a fashion statement for this beloved canine companion. It served a practical purpose, protecting the Retriever's ears from the harsh elements at sea. The cap also helped to camouflage the dog, making it less noticeable to enemy ships during times of war. The Retriever's unwavering devotion and exceptional working abilities made it an indispensable part of naval life. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of military dogs and their vital roles in maritime warfare. The image, with its timeless charm, evokes a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the deep bond between man and man's best friend, even in the most challenging of environments.
