This photograph shows the crew of the U.S.S. New Hampshire, a former warship that was used to train members of the New York Naval Reserves, and the group includes both officers and enlisted men. The ship was a training vessel rather than a fighting ship by the time this was taken, so the men pictured were largely citizen sailors learning seamanship during their off-duty time. The picture is a glass dry plate negative made by the Detroit Publishing Company, which later became known for its large catalog of American views. It was probably taken between 1890 and 1901, a period when naval reserve and militia training afloat was growing in American port cities.
