Lithograph by Vincent Brooks after a drawing by Sir William G.
Ouseley, published in Commander Bedford Pim, RN: "The Gate
of the Pacific", London, 1863 (page 133). It depicts a harbor
scene at Realejo, a 19th century port on the Pacific coast of
Nicaragua, about 20 miles northwest of Leon. The large ship in
the center is USS Merrimack, flagship of the Pacific Squadron.
The original is a color print in a book held by the Navy Department
Library.
