EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures a moment in time aboard the U.S.S. Massachusetts, a battleship in service with the United States Navy between 1896 and 1901. The image, taken between the late 19th and early 20nd century, shows a group of sailors engaged in a spirited boxing match. The setting is the cramped and dimly lit interior of the ship, with the boxing ring made up of ropes and planks. The sailors, dressed in their uniforms, display intense focus and determination as they square off against each other. The photograph, a dry plate glass negative measuring 8 x 10 inches, was taken by an unknown photographer and is now part of the collections at the Library of Congress. The image offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the crew on board the Massachusetts, providing a window into the past and the camaraderie and spirit that existed among the sailors during this era. The photograph is a testament to the human element of naval warfare and the importance of maintaining morale and physical fitness even in the most challenging of environments.
