EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, taken on May 1,1920, we witness a joyous moment aboard the USS Pennsylvania as it sails towards New York City. As the sailors pass by the majestic Statue of Liberty, their cheers reverberate through the air. For these brave men in their distinguished sailor outfits, this iconic symbol of freedom holds profound significance. It represents more than just an emblematic landmark; it embodies liberty itself. For months at sea, these dedicated servicemen have longed for shore leave and a chance to explore the vibrant streets of New York City. The sight of Lady Liberty reminds them that their wait is nearly over – soon they will anchor in port and be granted precious time ashore. The historic nature of this photograph transports us back to a pivotal era in American history: the roaring twenties. Against the backdrop of New York City Harbor, we glimpse not only the pride and happiness etched on each sailor's face but also a snapshot of military life during this transformative period. Preserved with care by Underwood Archives from Universal Images Group (UIG), this vintage image captures both a specific moment in time and an enduring spirit that continues to resonate today. It serves as a reminder of our nation's commitment to freedom and honors those who have served proudly in our United States Navy.
