EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures soprano opera singer Mabel Garrison Siemonn alongside Captain Pierce and sailors on board the U.S.S. Recruit on July 16, 1917. The image was taken by the renowned Bain News Service during World War I, a time of great patriotism and sacrifice.
Mabel Garrison's powerful presence is evident as she stands among the men in uniform, exuding grace and elegance. Her contribution to boosting morale through her music during such tumultuous times cannot be overstated.
The wooden mockup of a battleship built in Union Square, New York City by the Navy served not only as a recruitment tool but also as a symbol of American resilience and determination. The sight of these brave individuals standing tall against the backdrop of this makeshift ship is truly inspiring.
As we look back at this moment frozen in time, we are reminded of the sacrifices made by those who served their country with honor and pride. Mabel Garrison's collaboration with the military personnel aboard the U.S.S. Recruit serves as a testament to unity and strength in times of adversity.
This photograph is not just a historical artifact; it is a poignant reminder of the courage and camaraderie that defined an era marked by war but also by unwavering resolve.
