EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white image captures the U.S.S. Dolphin, an American gunboat that served in the United States Navy between 1885 and 1901. The U.S.S. Dolphin was a modest yet formidable vessel, measuring just over 150 feet in length and displacing around 500 tons. This dry plate glass negative, taken between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, shows the ship in full sail, with its distinctive funnel stack and multiple guns mounted on the deck. The U.S.S. Dolphin was part of the United States Navy's Atlantic Fleet and was used primarily for transport and patrol duties. During its service life, it saw action in various naval engagements, including the Spanish-American War in 1898. This historic photograph is a testament to the ship's role in America's naval history and the evolution of military technology during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The exact location and photographer of this image are unknown, but it is part of the extensive collection of the Library of Congress, which holds a vast archive of historical photographs and other materials related to the United States and its people. This photograph is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime history or American military history, and its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a must-have for any history enthusiast or collector.
