Nuns from Bengasi repairing Italian flag on the "PISA" (LOC)

from The Library of Congress

• Kilted Cowboy said:

  unfortunately, no immigrants would have traveled on this ship. This is the Italian cruiser Pisa, you can see her 10-inch 45-calibre guns on the left this is from a brief "war" preceding WWI en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italo-Turkish_War

  The nuns' habit is that of the Sisters of St Joseph of The Apparition founded by saint Emilie de Vialar in France in 1832.

[Portrait of a nun]

from SMU Libraries Digital Collections

• Tammy said:

  oh, I love this! Can you imagine how hot it would be to wear this much clothing in the Texas heat and in the days of no air conditioning!

• John B said:

  She wears the habit of the Sisters of Mercy and the white veil of a novice. The photo was most likely made on the occasion of her receiving the habit.

  they all look so miserable, except the man in front with his dog!

• enza bianchimani said:

  very interesting! 2 nuns in a family!!!

• Swordscookie said:

  Given the sober look about them where is the need for the shotgun? A very posed photo but excellent condition and clarity given how old it is!

• Jim Griffin said:

  Perhaps the man with the shotgun is the photographer's assistant?

• National Library of Ireland on The Commons said:

  I'm thinking the whole back row are their children, but the nuns look almost as old as the seated parents - maybe sisters or sisters-in-law?
