EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the Arbuckle Deep Sea Hotel in New York on October 3rd, 1913. The image showcases a unique living arrangement established by John Arbuckle, the founder of Arbuckles coffee business, to provide affordable accommodation for low-income working young adults. The hotel is depicted as a ship named Stamler, moored off the shore of New York City. The floating houseboat stands tall against the backdrop of the coast and sea, symbolizing hope and opportunity for those in need. Its presence serves as a testament to Arbuckle's commitment to improving the lives of working-class individuals during America's Gilded Age. In this snapshot of social history, figures can be seen on board - male labourers who found solace within these humble apartments. The masts rise high above them while telegraph wires and telephone wires crisscross through Manhattan's urban landscape. This image not only portrays an innovative solution to housing challenges but also highlights the stark reality of poverty and tenement living in early 20th-century America. It reminds us that even amidst bustling cities like New York, there were efforts made to provide low-cost accommodations for those struggling financially. Through this powerful photography by George Grantham Bain from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary project aimed at uplifting marginalized communities during an era marked by rapid industrialization and societal changes.
