EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Secretary of the Navy Josephus Daniels and Captain C.A. Adams aboard the U.S.S. Recruit on March 16, 1918 during World War I. The U.S.S. Recruit was a unique fake battleship constructed in Union Square, New York City by the Navy as a recruitment tool and to promote the sale of Liberty Bonds.
In this historic image, Secretary Daniels is engaged in conversation with Captain Adams, who commanded the mock ship during its time in New York City. Both men are dressed in military attire, exuding authority and determination as they discuss important matters related to naval warfare and national defense.
The photograph beautifully captures the essence of patriotism and dedication displayed by these two influential figures during a pivotal moment in American history. Secretary Daniels' hand gestures convey his passion for recruiting seamen and supporting the war effort, while Captain Adams stands tall beside him, embodying strength and leadership.
As we reflect on this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by individuals like Secretary Josephus Daniels and Captain C.A. Adams to protect our country's freedom and uphold its values. Their legacy lives on through images like this one, preserving their contributions to our nation's rich heritage.
