EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful print captures a significant moment in American history during World War I. The image shows Navy recruits disembarking from the U.S.S. Recruit, a fake battleship built in Union Square, New York City by the Navy for recruitment purposes.
The young men in the photo are leaving for training in Newport, Rhode Island, ready to serve their country during a time of great need. Their faces show determination and patriotism as they prepare to embark on this important journey.
The U.S.S. Recruit served as a symbol of hope and unity during the war, encouraging citizens to support the troops by purchasing Liberty Bonds. This unique method of recruitment was both innovative and effective in rallying support for the war effort.
As we look at this historical photograph, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by these brave soldiers who answered their country's call to duty. Their courage and dedication continue to inspire us today.
This image serves as a poignant reminder of America's resilience and strength during challenging times, showcasing the spirit of camaraderie that unites us all in times of adversity.
