"The Yorktown Centennial--The Military and Naval Reviews"
Line engraving, after sketches by J.O. Davidson, published in
"Harper's Weekly", 29 October 1881, showing ceremonies
commemorating the 100th anniversary of the British army's surrender
at Yorktown, Virginia. The military review, shown in the upper
engraving, took place on 20 October, with the Naval review (lower
scene) on the following day.
In the Naval review engraving, USS Alarm is apparently
the vessel in the left center foreground. USS Tennessee
is in the center, with her yards and boat booms manned, and her
guns saluting the British flag. The small civilian steamer Lookout
is in the right foreground.
