EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, capturing a significant moment in American maritime history. The image showcases the USFC Steamer "Albatross" docked at a dry dock during its survey of fishing banks from Newport to Newfoundland in 1885. This expedition was conducted by the United States Commission of Fish and Fisheries, aiming to explore and discover new marine research opportunities. The "Albatross" stands tall against the backdrop of the quayside, symbolizing America's commitment to scientific exploration and education. As an educational institution, this voyage represented a crucial step towards understanding fisheries and oceanography in order to protect these valuable resources for future generations. The glass negative used for this photograph adds depth and texture, enhancing our connection with this historical moment frozen in time. It serves as a testament to the dedication of the United States National Museum Photographic Laboratory in preserving our heritage art. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of America's rich scientific legacy and its continuous pursuit of knowledge. The "Albatross" represents not only a vessel but also an embodiment of curiosity-driven research that has shaped our understanding of marine ecosystems over centuries. Through photography like this one, we can appreciate how science intertwines with artistry, creating visual records that inspire awe while documenting important milestones in human progress.
