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.
