DESCRIPTION SITE :

I love this old photograph of the America. Looking at her condition it is hard to believe she had been scuttled in a muddy river. Her 'Bristol' presentation was a credit to the US Navy in the days of sail. I am guessing the scene was somewhere off the Naval Academy at Annapolis, and not long after Grant took Richmond.

NOTES AMERICA-SCOOP :

Very interesting documentation
