The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

There have been other Admirals in the Navy but only one Admiral of the Navy in the U.S., Rob.
It's a good thing he was an Admiral because it looks like water has attacked his negative. Your work is a positive.

People are like cameras--sometimes they lose focus.

I like how you've worked to give us this improved version. Don't know how you do it though to bring these photos to life.

That's not water, Tick, but rather the breakdown of silver nitrate. Dewey was the commander of the U.S. Asiatic Squadron, that was victorious at the Battle of Manila Bay, during the Spanish-American War, in 1898. On April 27, 1898, he sailed out from China aboard the USS Olympia with orders to attack the Spanish at Manila Bay. He stopped at the mouth of the bay late the night of April 30, and the following morning he gave the order to attack at first light, by saying the now famous words "You may fire when you are ready, Gridley." Within six hours, on May 1, he had sunk or captured the entire Spanish Pacific fleet under Admiral Patricio Montojo y Pasaron and silenced the shore batteries at Manila, with the loss of only one life on the American side. A special military decoration, the Battle of Manila Bay Medal (commonly called the Dewey Medal), was struck in honor of Dewey's victory at Manila Bay. It was awarded to every American officer, Sailor and Marine present at the battle. Dewey dedicated 59 years of service to the defense of the United States, from 1858 to 1917.

Very apt colorization again, Rob. Thanks for that.

Makes your post even more interesting than it already was.
Perfect way of cooperation, my friend!

With Rob's submissions, C., there's always an opportunity for a history lesson, hopefully interesting or entertaining... or both.
