EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures a moment in time as American seamen ascend the tower of the new anti-aircraft gun on board the USS Texas in 1916. The image, taken by an unknown photographer, provides a glimpse into the past as the United States Navy prepared for the evolving threat of aerial warfare. The USS Texas, commissioned in 1914, was the first American dreadnought battleship and a symbol of the nation's growing naval power. With the advent of airplanes, the need to defend against aerial attacks became increasingly important, leading to the installation of anti-aircraft guns on battleships. In the photograph, a group of determined seamen can be seen climbing up the tower of the anti-aircraft gun, each man focused on his task. Their uniforms and equipment indicate that they are well-prepared for their duties, with helmets, goggles, and protective clothing. The tower itself is a testament to the engineering prowess of the time, with intricate details and a complex network of ladders and platforms. The date of the photograph, December 7, 1916, is significant as it predates the entry of the United States into World War I by over a year. However, the image serves as a reminder of the naval preparations being made in anticipation of the conflict. The USS Texas went on to serve in both World War I and World War II, making this photograph a valuable piece of American military history. This image, from the extensive collection of historical photographs at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a testament to the dedication and innovation of the United States Navy in the early 20th century. It provides a unique perspective on the past and offers insight into the evolution of naval warfare.
