USS Kearsarge (1862-1894)


The ship's after XI-inch Dahlgren pivot gun, trained out to port, circa the 1870s. This gun has an iron pivot mounting, of a type adopted after the Civil War. Mounted on the right side of the gun carriage, just behind the gun trunnion, is a plaque bearing the name "Winslow", after Kearsarge's commanding officer in 1864, Captain John A. Winslow.
The port side ladder to the quarter deck is at the left.
