Photographs of ten views of the Naval Parade on the Delaware River during the Peace Jubilee on October 25, 1898. The ships
depicted are the Tug Philadelphia; Japanese cruiser Kasagi; Texas; Topeka; Columbia; Mayflower; Marblehead; New Orleans; Gloucester;
and the Transports Panther and Olivette. The Japanese cruiser Kasagi is depicted with two engine stacks, lines of nautical
and national flags, and Japanese flags flying on the masts. Crew men are visible walking and standing on the deck and on the
staircase on the side of the ship. Philadelphia honored the end of the Spanish-American War with the Peace Jubilee celebration
from October 25-28, 1898. In addition to war ships, the naval procession included yachts, steamers, tugs, barges, and rowboats.
The last warship in the line was the Kasagi, recently built at William Cramp & Sons’ shipyard in Philadelphia. Captain Kashiwabara,
with the Japanese officers and crew, lined the deck in full dress.
