The Old Steam Navy


The photographs in these pages were found in a book
about Admiral Dewey, the Battle of Manila Bay and
the Philippine Campaign: Life and Heroic Deeds of
Admiral Dewey including Battles in the Philippines
(Globe Bible Publishing Co., Philadelphia, 1899). Some
of the pictures seem to predate the Spanish-American
War, though. The images of the common sailors and
shipboard scenes give a fascinating glimpse of what
life in the navy was like 100 years, and more, ago, and
also put a human face on history.
