The US Navy hosts the relatives
of Matthew Henson on the USNS Henson. Ceremony honors
explorer and co-discoverer of the North Pole Matthew
Henson. USNS Henson goes into full time oceanographic
service.
Photographs are used with
compliments from the Navy. Original shots, additional
ones and larger format versions may be viewed and
downloaded directly from http://oceanographer.navy.mil/arlington1.html The ones at the Navy site are "raw"
images and may take a long time to download as they are
not compressed. I have taken a selection of the shots and
enhanced them in Adobe Photoshop, then optimized the
compression with Adobe ImageReady software. Although the
pictures were taken with a good quality digital camera
they still show the classic problems of back lit subjects
and the need for "fill flash". Despite these
problems I have made fairly good enhanced images that
will download 3 to 10 times faster.
