[QUOTE="Bookahtoo, post: 9577782, member: 31"]Each page in this album measures 13 1/2" by 11" Each photo measures 9 1/4" by 6 3/4". There are 24 pages. 16 photos have an embossed stamp saying Copyright 1898 by C.E. Bolles, Brooklyn, N.Y. The other 8 are stamped C.E. Bolles, Brooklyn N.Y. I am trying to figure out what event this parade is celebrating. They seemed to have Naval parades every other day in New York City, but the only two I've found so far in 1898 that had at least some of the boats shown here are The Peace Jubilee Naval Parade, and one for the Victory Fleet, which took place on Aug. 26, 1898. The 9 ships in the album: [LIST] [*]The New York (3 photos) [*]The Iowa (2 photos) [*]The Brooklyn (4 photos) [*]The Massachusetts (3 photos) [*]The Oregon (2 photos) [*]The Indiana (2 photos) [*]The City of Lawrence (1 photo) [*]The Sagamore (1 photo) [*]The Texas (1 photo) [/LIST] I think this album must have been privately commissioned. Any help? Here are a few photos: The New York and the Iowa: [ATTACH=full]461661[/ATTACH] The Brooklyn [ATTACH=full]461662[/ATTACH] The Massachusetts: [ATTACH=full]461663[/ATTACH] The Oregon [ATTACH=full]461664[/ATTACH] The Indiana: [ATTACH=full]461665[/ATTACH] City of Lawrence: [ATTACH=full]461666[/ATTACH] The Sagamore: [ATTACH=full]461667[/ATTACH] A police boat and some tugs: [ATTACH=full]461669[/ATTACH] Grants tomb: [ATTACH=full]461668[/ATTACH] Boathouse/review stand [ATTACH=full]461670[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
