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.
