EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures a momentous occasion on board the U.S.S. Kentucky in 1900 or 1901. The U.S.S. Kentucky, a powerful battleship and the flagship of the Atlantic Fleet, is seen here anchored in a tranquil body of water. A large crowd of men and women, dressed in their finest apparel, have gathered on the deck to witness the presentation of a magnificent silver service to the ship's company. The silver service, a set of ornate and intricately designed silverware, is being presented by an unidentified man, who is flanked by two uniformed marines. The women in the crowd, some holding parasols for protection from the sun, watch intently as the ceremony unfolds. The men, also dressed in their Sunday best, stand at attention, showing respect for the occasion. This historic photograph, taken using a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a testament to the grandeur and pageantry of the early 20th century. The U.S.S. Kentucky, a symbol of American naval power and heritage, is the backdrop for this ceremonial event, which underscores the importance of tradition and community. The image, from the collections of the Library of Congress, is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the fashion, social customs, and maritime history of the time.
