The title points to a monument honoring Commodore John Barry, the Irish-born officer often called the father of the American Navy, though the caption data behind the title is unverified and the record does not give the exact location or date. Barry commanded ships during the Revolutionary War, and memorials to him were raised in several cities, including Philadelphia and Washington. The picture comes from the Bain News Service, a New York agency that sold news photographs from about 1900 through the 1920s, and its glass negatives often capture ceremonies and crowds of that period.
