Few things in the Bain collection capture early American naval shipbuilding as directly as this view of the Submarine Boat Company's yard in Newark, New Jersey. The firm built submarines for the U.S. Navy in the early 1900s, and its work expanded during World War I, when undersea craft became central to naval strategy. Bain News Service, the pioneering wire-photo agency, supplied images like this one to newspapers across the country, so the scene reflects how the press documented industrial growth and national defense in that era. The record's date is unconfirmed, so the exact year remains uncertain.
