A sailor rests one arm on the barrel of a cannon, his cap pushed back, on the open deck of a warship. Pictures like this one were common in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when navies were expanding and illustrated papers and photographers found a ready audience for images of daily life aboard ship. Heavy guns of this kind were the core of a warship's firepower, so a sailor posed beside one shows the working side of the service, the everyday routine of men who maintained and manned these weapons between drills and watches.
