A small point

In a racially segregated navy we have two black men just part of the crew, somewhat startling for 1896?

[Other contemporary examples can be found here, here, here and here. Segregation came to the Navy under President Wilson in 1913. -tterrace]

More than cooks here?

The two men to the left of the bell are wearing distinctly different uniforms. The cap insignias are a bit too small to discern. Are they Marines?

Also, about 8 of them are wearing lanyards. Are they bosuns?

Nice shoes

A classic and very smart sailor uniform style. Flared trousers, of course! Notice those elegant, but extremely worn out shoes they all have on.

One half-smile, two faint attempts at a smile and otherwise a whole lot of grumpy goin' on.
