The armored cruiser U.S.S. *New York* was a steel warship built in the early 1890s, and it was a leading ship of the U.S. Navy when this photoprint was made around 1898. That year it served as Rear Admiral William T. Sampson's flagship during the Spanish-American War, including the naval battle off Santiago de Cuba in July. Charles E. Bolles, the copyright holder named on the card, was a publisher of naval and marine views, so the print reflects the public appetite for images of American warships during that conflict. The record's date and details come from an old caption card and have not been independently verified.
