EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "U.S.S. Oregon switchboard in dynamo room, between 1896 and 1901," is an intriguing glimpse into the inner workings of a pre-Dreadnought battleship of the United States Navy. Taken by Edward H. Hart between 1896 and 1901, the image captures the switchboard in the dynamo room of the U.S.S. Oregon, an Indiana-class battleship that served in the late 19th century. The photograph, measuring 8 x 10 inches, is a dry plate or glass negative, showcasing the intricate details of the control panel and the various dials and measurements that regulated the ship's electrical systems. The room is dimly lit, with the only sources of light coming from the glowing dials and the occasional flicker of a lamp. The scene is a testament to the technological advancements of the time, as the U.S. Navy began to harness the power of electricity to fuel its ships and enhance its naval warfare capabilities. Edward H. Hart, the photographer, expertly captured the sense of scale and complexity in this interior scene. The switchboard, with its myriad of dials and levers, dominates the room, while the various pipes and wires that crisscross the space add to the sense of controlled chaos. The image is a fascinating window into the past, offering a glimpse into the inner workings of a battleship that played a significant role in the United States' naval history. This photograph is part of the collections of the Library of Congress and is a valuable addition to any collection of maritime or technological history. The image is not to be used for commercial purposes and is for educational and research purposes only.
