| 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.
