Description
During the 1870s, the Russian Imperial Navy paid a courtesy visit to various ports in the United States. At least one Russian vessel came to Maine, and its visit must have coincided with the annual encampment of the post-Civil War State Militia. The Russian naval officers, identified by their white caps, are posed here with Maine Militia officers who entertained them. The photo was taken by an Old Town photographer, and the event probably took place in the Bangor area.
