USS Nipsic
(1879-1913)

View of the ship's starboard quarter, showing the jury rudder fitted after she had lost her rudder post and rudder in the 15-16 March 1889 hurricane at Apia, Samoa.
This view shows the rudder topped after backing.
Probably taken at Honolulu, Hawaii, after Nipsic had arrived from Samoa, circa August 1889.
