This glass negative shows the U.S. Navy submarine named Narwhal, a vessel whose name appears on the caption card. The record gives no date, and its title comes from unverified data supplied by the Bain News Service, so the identification and the exact vessel should be treated with some caution. The Bain News Service was a commercial press agency that distributed news photographs in the early twentieth century, and its negatives document the Navy's submarine force during a period when these boats were still experimental and were changing quickly in design and use. Researchers should check the Navy's own records against the picture before relying on the caption.
