EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of Old Home Week in Newport, Rhode Island, USA, during the vibrant year of 1905. The image showcases a magnificent Boilermakers Carnival Float, proudly making its way through the bustling streets of this historic seaport town. The Boilermakers, a trade association for those employed in the building and repair of boilers, had a strong presence in Newport's industrial community. The float, adorned with intricate details, represents the spirit of patriotism and American pride. The red, white, and blue color scheme, along with the prominent display of stars and stripes, reflects the deep-rooted love for the United States that was prevalent during this era. The model ship atop the float adds a nautical touch, paying homage to Newport's rich maritime history. The float is also embellished with Puritan-inspired motifs, symbolizing the town's founding roots and the strong work ethic that was valued in the community. The Boilermakers, with their tools and uniforms, proudly display their trade industry affiliation. The overall design of the float is a testament to the creativity and craftsmanship of the time. Old Home Week was an annual celebration in Newport, Rhode Island, that brought together residents and visitors to honor the town's history and traditions.
