EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch photograph, sourced from the Library of Congress, showcases the U.S.S. Raleigh and U.S.S. Maine anchored in a tranquil body of water during the late 1890s. The image, created in the 19th century, offers a glimpse into the nascent era of American naval power. The U.S.S. Maine, commissioned in 1895, is depicted with its distinctive two smokestacks, a feature that would later be altered in subsequent designs. Tragically, the Maine would become infamous in 1898 when it was sunk in Havana Harbor, Cuba, leading the United States to declare war on Spain. The U.S.S. Raleigh, also an armored cruiser, can be seen in the background, its sleek silhouette contrasting against the clear blue water. Both ships represent the United States' growing naval capabilities and commitment to global influence during this period. The photograph, believed to be a dry plate or glass negative, is a testament to the evolution of photography and its role in documenting history. This image, from an unknown photographer, offers a unique perspective on the United States Navy during a pivotal moment in American history. The ships' peaceful presence in the image belies the tumultuous events that were soon to unfold, making this photograph an intriguing piece of both maritime and historical significance.
