EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, dating between 1896 and 1901, showcases the U.S.S. Oregon and a group of athletes aboard the battleship. The U.S.S. Oregon, a proud symbol of the United States Navy, served as a powerful force during the Spanish-American War. In this image, we see a diverse group of crewmen taking a break from their naval duties to engage in athletic pursuits. The sailors are shown boxing, their determined expressions etched on their faces as they don boxing gloves and square off against one another. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the daily life of the U.S.S. Oregon's crew, highlighting their physical fitness and camaraderie. The dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, created by an unknown photographer, is now part of the prestigious collections at the Library of Congress, a testament to its historical significance. This photograph not only captures the spirit of the U.S. Navy during a pivotal era in American history but also showcases the human side of military life.
