Entitled: " Raleigh, sailors at the pyramids". Photographed by the Detroit Publishing Company, circa 1897-1900. USS Raleigh (C-8) was a United States Navy protected cruiser commissioned in 1894 and in periodic service until 1919. In 1897 she reported for duty at the European Station at Smyrna (now Izmir) on the Aegean Sea. In July, she participated in a goodwill tour of Moroccan ports. In August, she cruised off Italy, then returned to the western Mediterranean. Into December, she operated off the Levant and, toward the end of the month transited the Suez Canal en route to the Asiatic Station. In 1898, she reached Hong Kong where she joined Dewey's squadron.
