USS Nipsic (1879-1913)
Ship's propeller, showing damage received during the 15-16 March
1889 hurricane at Apia, Samoa.
Not only was the propeller bent beyond repair, but the rudder
and rudderpost were torn away, as were the keel and deadwood
below the propeller.
Photographed in drydock at Honolulu, Hawaii, after Nipsic
had arrived from Samoa, circa August 1889.
