EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the U.S.S. Olympia, under the command of Captain Charles D. Gridley, between the years 1895 and 1901. The U.S.S. Olympia was a protected cruiser, one of the first modern warships of the United States Navy. In this image, we see a mix of 19th and early 20th century fashion, as the crew members don various uniforms and apparel, reflecting the transition between eras. The sailors, dressed in their naval uniforms, stand at attention on the deck, while officers, clad in more formal attire, observe the scene. The U.S.S. Olympia, a symbol of American naval power and prowess, was a significant vessel in the early history of the United States Navy. This photograph, taken as a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a window into the daily life and appearance of the crew during this period. The photograph is part of the extensive collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to the rich heritage and history of the United States.
