EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the U.S.S. Kearsarge, specifically its iconic gun named "Winslow," which played a pivotal role in the sinking of the Confederate raider Alabama during the American Civil War. The image was captured between 1890 and 1894, and the creator remains unknown. The U.S.S. Kearsarge, a screw sloop of war, was a formidable naval vessel of the United States Navy. The photograph shows the impressive size and power of the gun, which was a significant advancement in naval warfare technology during the late 19th century. The gun, named after Secretary of the Navy, Gideon Welles, was a 11-inch rifled muzzle loader, capable of firing a projectile over a mile. The U.S.S. Kearsarge, under the command of Captain John W. C. Glassford, engaged the Alabama off the coast of Cherbourg, France, on June 19, 1864. The battle lasted for less than an hour, resulting in the sinking of the Alabama and marking a significant victory for the Union Navy. This historic photograph, taken as a dry plate negative glass 8 x 10 in, is a testament to the technological advancements and military prowess of the United States during the late 19th century.
