Federal ironclads in Trent's Reach, James River, Virginia
Photographed circa early 1865.
Nearest ship is USS Saugus, with a mine sweeping "torpedo
rake" attached to her bow. Next monitor astern is probably
USS Sangamon. Visible just to the right of her is either
USS Mahopac or USS Canonicus. Last two ships are
USS Atlanta and USS Onondaga.
Photographed by the Matthew Brady organization.
Note the log boom across the river in the foreground and the
signal tower atop the hill in the right distance.
