    A large group of performers dressed in 19th-century period costumes are singing outdoors on stone steps, likely at a Civil War-era commemorative event. They are arranged in a line in front of microphones, with men wearing hats and suspenders and women in long skirts and bonnets. The setting appears to be the steps of a public building or monument, with inscribed stone text partially visible.

    The Washington Revels sing the song known to United States Navy men and women as the "Navy Hymn," at the 22nd Annual Blessing of the Fleet. The centuries-old ‘Blessing of the Fleet’ ritual is intended to safeguard crews and ships from the danger of the seas through a blessing given by a clergyman at the water’s edge. During the Navy Memorial’s ceremony, sailors from the US Navy’s Ceremonial Guard proceed across the outdoor plaza’s “Granite Sea” to pour water from the Seven Seas and Great Lakes into the surrounding fountains, “charging” them to life and ushering in the spring season.
