EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dated between 1896 and 1899, showcases Assistant Engineer Liefer aboard the U.S.S. Brooklyn during the late 19th century. The U.S.S. Brooklyn was a cruiser of the Brooklyn class, renowned for its advanced naval technology and powerful armament. The image captures Liefer in his formal attire, dressed in a crisp, high-collared shirt, neatly pressed trousers, and a formal jacket. His engineering expertise is evident in the meticulously maintained engineering equipment visible in the background. The dry plate glass negative, measuring 8 x 10 inches, was taken during a period of significant growth and modernization in the United States Navy. The U.S.S. Brooklyn, commissioned in 1895, was one of the first battleships in the American fleet to be powered by steam turbines. This technological advancement allowed for increased speed and maneuverability, making the Brooklyn a formidable presence on the water. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of a naval engineer during this era. The image is a testament to the dedication and hard work of the crew, who played a crucial role in the development of the United States Navy. The photograph is part of the extensive collection of historical images held by the Library of Congress, providing valuable insights into America's rich naval heritage.
