The subject is the U.S.S. Iowa, one of the Navy's large steel battleships of the late 1890s, shown here through an 11 by 14 inch glass dry plate negative. The ship was commissioned in 1897 and took part in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba in 1898, during the Spanish-American War. The Detroit Publishing Company, which issued views of American landmarks and industry, listed this negative in its 1901 catalog, and the record suggests it may be the work of photographer Edward H. Hart. Such views of warships were popular with a public that followed the new American navy's rise.
