EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph, Lieutenant Theodore G. Ellyson of the United States Navy boldly tests a seaplane on the shores of the Potomac River in 1911. Ellyson, who was the first U.S. Navy officer designated as an aviator, played a pivotal role in the experimental development of naval aviation. The image captures the spirit of innovation and progress that characterized the early days of aviation. The photograph was taken by the renowned Harris & Ewing studio, founded by George W. Harris and Martha Ewing Kuntze in Washington, D.C. The studio was a pioneer in the field of photographic journalism and produced numerous images documenting the social, political, and cultural events of the 20th century. In this photograph, Ellyson can be seen standing next to the seaplane, wearing a leather helmet and goggles, as he prepares for takeoff. The seaplane, with its biplane wings and spar-like supports, rests on the water's edge, ready to be launched. The Potomac River, a major geographical feature of the eastern United States, provides a picturesque backdrop to the scene. Ellyson's pioneering work in naval aviation would lead to significant advancements in military technology and strategy. He was awarded the Navy Cross for his antisubmarine service during World War I. Tragically, Ellyson's life was cut short when his aircraft crashed over the Chesapeake Bay in 1928. This photograph is a testament to the courage and ingenuity of the early aviators and the crucial role they played in shaping the future of military aviation. It is a valuable addition to the vast collection of historical images held by the Library of Congress.
