EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the USS Maryland, an American battleship of the BB-46 class, gracefully anchors in Seattle Harbour, Washington State, USA, during the 1920s. The image captures the grandeur and might of the naval vessel, as it proudly displays its American flag against the backdrop of the Pacific Northwest's picturesque waterfront. The USS Maryland, commissioned in 1921, was named after the seventh state in the United States and represented the latest in naval technology and engineering during the interwar period. With a length of 624 feet and a displacement of over 32,000 tons, the battleship was a formidable presence on the water. Seattle Harbour, with its scenic mountainous backdrop and bustling port activity, provided an ideal location for the USS Maryland to call during its travels. The photograph showcases the battleship's impressive size in comparison to the surrounding vessels and the city's skyline, emphasizing the United States' naval power and influence. This image offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1920s, an era marked by economic prosperity, cultural innovation, and the growing importance of the United States on the global stage. The USS Maryland's presence in Seattle Harbour serves as a reminder of the country's maritime heritage and its commitment to maintaining a strong naval fleet. The photograph's composition, with the battleship anchored in the foreground and the city and mountains in the background, creates a striking visual balance, making it an excellent addition to any collection focusing on American history, naval history, or the 1920s.
