USS Kearsarge (1862-1894)
Ship's crew at their battle stations, shortly after her June
1864 action with CSS Alabama. View looks aft from the
forecastle, showing both XI-inch Dahlgren smoothbore cannon trained
to starboard, as they were during the fight.
Portly officer in the center foreground appears to be Acting
Master James R. Wheeler.
