USS Montauk (1862-1904)


Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 1863. It depicts the ship detonating a mine in the Ogeechee River, Georgia, in the morning of 28 February 1863, as she was withdrawing after destroying the Confederate ship Rattlesnake (the former CSS Nashville). Montauk was damaged by this explosion and had to be run aground until repairs could be made.
