EDITORS COMMENTS
This 8 x 10 inch glass negative photograph, dating back to the late 19th century, depicts a significant moment on board the U.S.S. New York. The U.S.S. New York was an armored cruiser that saw active service during the Spanish-American War. In this image, Admiral William Thomas Sampson, renowned for his leadership during the conflict, is seen with his young son and the ship's mascot, a goat named "Pitch." Admiral Sampson, with a confident and determined expression, kneels down next to his son, who gazes directly at the camera with a curious and innocent look. The admiral's posture exudes a sense of warmth and affection towards his child. In the background, crew members and onlookers are visible, some of whom are observing the scene with interest. The U.S.S. New York, a formidable vessel of the time, is shown in the background, with its impressive armaments and awning. The sun blind on the deck adds an intriguing element to the photograph, casting an interesting pattern of light and shadow. The goat, "Pitch," stands next to the admiral and his son, adding a playful and lighthearted touch to the image. This photograph, created by an unknown photographer, offers a unique glimpse into the lives of those on board the U.S.S. New York during a historic period in American naval warfare. The interaction between the admiral, his son, and the mascot creates a heartwarming and memorable scene that has stood the test of time.
