We are indebted to independent scholar Charles “Buckey” Grimm for identifying this 11-minute piece of the celebrated “lost” three-reel documentary U.S. Navy of 1915, produced by the Lyman H. Howe Company. (The piece had formerly been known only as “U.S. Navy Fragment.”) The film was made with the full support of the Secretary of the Navy, Joseph Daniels, who believed in the power of motion pictures to convince isolationists of the importance of building a strong American navy.http://www.filmpreservation.org/preserved-films/screening-room/u-s-navy-documentary-1915
