Sailors on the armored cruiser U.S.S. *Brooklyn* are shown at leisure in a spot the title calls Hogan's Alley, where a group of men play cards and others gather with musicians. The Navy commissioned the *Brooklyn* in 1896, and it went on to serve in the Spanish-American War, so the picture dates from the late 1890s, when the new steel cruiser was a point of national pride. The photograph was made by the Detroit Photographic Company, whose large-format views of American ships, cities and landscapes were later issued under the Detroit Publishing Company name. Its record notes the subjects as seamen, musicians and card games, offering a glimpse of off-duty life aboard a warship of that era.
