U.S.S. "Castine"

Shows the gunboat "Castine," assembled with the fleet in the Dry Tortugas. The view is taken from the steam launch, which approaches and passes the vessel. The decks are filled with sailors and marines, while the gunners are shown leaning over their guns from the various port-holes. The flag which is trailing from leaning over their guns from the various port-holes. The flag which is trailing from the stern is very large, and as it waves in the breezes produces a fine effect. In the background is seen the side wheeler "Whitney." The picture is sharp and clear.
