Glass Coaster : United States Navy - Atlantic Fleet
Home Decor from Mary Evans Picture Library
United States Navy - Atlantic Fleet
United States Navy - Atlantic Fleet in harbour, including the Illinois-class battleships USS Alabama and USS Illinois, distinctive for having side-by side funnels. An observation ballon is inflated and picketed in the foreground. It is unclear where this was taken, though it could be in the Caribbean or South America. Alternatively it is possible this is a photo of the assembled Great White Fleet, which conducted a world tour in 1907, returning in 1909. Date: circa 1908

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet at anchor, showcasing the distinctive silhouettes of the Illinois-class battleships USS Alabama and USS Illinois. The pairing of side-by-side funnels is a unique feature of these impressive vessels, which were in service during the early 1900s. An observation balloon, inflated and picketed in the foreground, adds a sense of anticipation and exploration. The exact location of this scene remains uncertain, with possibilities ranging from the Caribbean to South America. An intriguing alternative explanation is that this photograph depicts the assembled Great White Fleet, which embarked on a historic world tour in 1907, returning in 1909. Regardless of the specifics, the image encapsulates the grandeur and might of the United States Navy during a pivotal moment in maritime history.
