EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time aboard the majestic "Lusitania" between 1910 and 1915. The image features Misses McAdoo, Britton, and others embarking on a journey to France to serve as nurses during the tumultuous years of World War I.
Nona McAdoo, daughter of William Gibbs McAdoo who served as Secretary of the Treasury under President Woodrow Wilson, stands alongside Miss Katherine Britton as they prepare for their noble mission. Their faces reflect determination and courage as they board the ship that would take them across the vast ocean to aid those in need.
The black and white composition adds a sense of nostalgia to this historic photograph, capturing not only the physical voyage on water but also symbolizing the emotional journey these women were about to embark upon. The Lusitania itself becomes a powerful symbol of hope and resilience amidst the chaos of war.
As we gaze upon this image from over a century ago, we are reminded of the selflessness and bravery displayed by individuals like Misses McAdoo and Britton who answered the call to serve others in times of great adversity. Their story is etched into history through this timeless snapshot captured by Bain News Service.
