EDITORS COMMENTS
A poignant moment captured on film: a young sailor says his goodbyes to loved ones as he departs for duty aboard USS Newport. The date is likely between c1910 and c1915, during the early years of World War I when naval warfare was becoming increasingly prominent.
In this black-and-white photograph by Bain News Service, we see the tender farewell between a young sailor and his female companion - possibly his mother or sweetheart. As he prepares to set sail on the battleship USS Newport, she clings tightly to him, her face etched with emotion as they share one final kiss. His suitcase lies at their feet, a symbol of the journey ahead.
The photograph captures not only the emotional goodbye but also the sense of uncertainty and sacrifice that defined this era in American history. The sailor's departure is likely bound for naval warfare or transport duties, leaving behind loved ones who must cope with his absence.
This powerful image from Bain News Service offers a glimpse into life during wartime America, when families were torn apart by duty and patriotism. It serves as a poignant reminder of the human cost of war and the enduring power of love.
