EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment in American maritime history as US submarines Octopus and Snapper, along with battleships New Jersey and Georgia, gracefully navigate the Hudson River in New York State, circa 1910. The image showcases the impressive size and power of these naval vessels, with their towering masts and imposing hulls, adorned with the Stars and Stripes. The Octopus and Snapper were part of the Submarine Force, US Atlantic Fleet, representing the cutting edge of naval technology at the time. The submarine class, with its distinctive conning towers, allowed for underwater exploration and warfare, revolutionizing naval warfare and expanding the strategic capabilities of the US Navy. Meanwhile, battleships New Jersey and Georgia, proudly displaying their state namesakes' flags, showcase the might and grandeur of the US Navy's surface fleet. These vessels, with their heavy armament and protective belt armor, symbolized the nation's military prowess and determination to protect its shores. The scene is further enlivened by the presence of people on the shore, some observing the vessels with a sense of awe and curiosity, while others prepare for potential emergencies with lifebelts in hand. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at a pivotal moment in American naval history.
