EDITORS COMMENTS

The image, published in "L'Album de la Guerre 1914-1919, Volume 2" by L'Illustration, Paris, 1924, depicts a significant moment in naval history. The photograph captures the encounter between the French battleship "Lorraine" and an American battleship in the waters of Norfolk, Virginia. The American battleship, with its impressive size and presence, came to meet the "Lorraine" to escort her safely into Chesapeake Bay. This event marked a crucial moment during the First World War, as France and the United States strengthened their alliance and cooperation in the war effort. The photograph is a testament to the camaraderie and unity between the two countries during a time of global conflict. The image showcases the grandeur of naval warfare during the early 20th century, with the steam-powered battleships dominating the waters. The photograph also highlights the importance of transportation and logistics in supporting military operations, as the "Lorraine" was escorted through the treacherous waters of Chesapeake Bay by her American counterpart. The photograph is a valuable historical document, providing insight into the naval strategies and diplomacy of the First World War. It is a reminder of the significant role that the United States played in the war effort and the strong alliance that existed between France and the United States during this time.
