Reservists aboard the Duca degli Abruzzi are the subject of this glass negative, and the ship's name refers to Luigi Amedeo, Duke of the Abruzzi, the Italian explorer and naval officer. The caption information comes from the Bain News Service, a New York photo agency that documented the city's ships, crowds and news events in the early twentieth century. The record gives no exact date or occasion, but photographs of naval reservists from this period usually show the routine of service, such as men reporting for duty or drilling, rather than combat. Bain negatives like this one preserve those everyday scenes that seldom reached the front page.
