Very interesting. Thanks for sharing. :salute:

Always wonderful!

Awesome stuff! :rock:

Cool photos.:up:

Thanks for sharing.:salute:

Awesome :rock:

Interesting photos. The crews caps were not the best looking. It is interesting to see how bow shape changed since then, as well as, gun placement on warships drafted later. Capt Geary's steed looks a bit small compared to the saddle and surround people as well as the Capt in the saddle. Beats walking!

Now which ship were you on again? I couldn't tell which one was you.
:D

None of them.

I got out before cameras were invented. :O:

Liar, there was no ironclads in that time!

Thanks for sharing! Wery interesting photos - for us in Russia that conflict was quite an exotic - our country had it's own "little victorious war" six years later (with Japan in 1904-1905 I mean) and by the way it went, I think it would be better if our navy staff learned something from Spanish-American War before Japanese attack.

Never heard of Hornblower? :)

Which one?
