'Milwaukee.'"
Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 29 April
1865, depicting USS Osage striking a mine and sinking
near Spanish Fort on 29 March 1865.
The wreck of USS Milwaukee, which had been sunk by a mine
on the previous day, is in the center middle distance. The twin-turret
monitors at right are two of the following: USS Winnebago,
USS Chickasaw and USS Kickapoo. Ships in the right
