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.
