EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph captures the U.S.S. Vesuvius, an American cruiser, armed with barrels of dynamite guns between 1886 and 1901. The image, taken during the late 19th or early 20th century, showcases the innovative use of explosives as a form of naval weaponry. The U.S.S. Vesuvius, a steam-powered cruiser, was one of the many warships of the United States Navy that underwent modifications to enhance its offensive capabilities. The barrels of dynamite guns, positioned on the deck of the ship, are a testament to the technological advancements and the evolving nature of naval warfare during this period. The exact date and location of this photograph are unknown, but it is believed to have been taken indoors or inside a library, possibly the Library of Congress, as part of their extensive collection of historical photographs. The black and white image, likely a glass negative or dry plate negative, offers a glimpse into the past, providing a unique perspective on the military heritage of the United States. The U.S.S. Vesuvius, with its barrels of dynamite guns, represents a fascinating chapter in the history of American naval warfare and the country's commitment to advancing its military capabilities.
