USS Kearsarge (1862-1894)

View on deck, looking forward along the starboard side in June 1864. Acting Master Eben M. Stoddard (left) and Chief Engineer William H. Cushman are beside the ship's after XI-inch pivot gun, which is trained out to starboard, as it was during the action with CSS Alabama on 19 June.
Note ammunition for the gun on deck at left, including grape, shell and what appears to be a powder charge.
