[NAVAL]. Scenes on Board a Man?of?War. U.S.S. Flagship Tennessee. New York: Hatton & Hart, [ca. 1885]. Oblong 4to (279 x 362 mm). 27 mounted albumen photographs on 20 thick leaves depicting officers and crew including Rear Admiral James E. Jouett and Captain O.F. Stanton, the captain?s cabin, and various views of the ship?s deck and exterior.
