USS Galena (1880-1892)


Photographed circa the later 1880s or early 1890s.
The original print identifies this ship as USS Alliance, which it is not. The letter "G" on the bow of the embarked boats (on davits aft, and in water amidships) show her to be Galena.
Other recognition features for this class include the quarter galleries and the six broadside gun ports aft of the single pivot port.
