DescriptionNaval Triumph on the Mississippi below New Orleans 1862 lithographh76369k.jpg |
English: "The Splendid Naval Triumph on the Mississippi, "April 24th," 1862"
Colored lithograph, "published by," Currier & Ives, 1862. The original print bears the following descriptive text: "Destruction of the Rebel gunboats, rams and "iron clad batteries by the Union Fleet under Flag Officer Farragut." The attack was commenced on the 18th of April. And continued until the 25th resulting in the capture of Forts Jackson, St. Phillip, Livingston, Pike and the city of New Orleans, as well as the destruction of all the enemy gunboats, rams, floating batteries (iron clad), fire rafts, booms and chains. The enemy with their own hands destroying cotton and shipping valued at from eight——to ten millions of dollars. 'The sight of this night attack was awfully grand, the river was lit up with blazing rafts filled with pine knots and the ships seemed——to be, fighting literally amidst flames and smoke.'". In this view, ships are identified as (starting at top left center, up the river, running down to the right, then across toward the left): Confederate steamers; USS Cayuga (leading the Union column), USS Pensacola, burning confederate steamer, USS Varuna, USS Oneida, USS Mississippi (engaging the ram Manassas), USS Richmond, USS Kineo, USS Hartford (flagship, in collision with a fire raft), USS Brooklyn and USS Winona. A Confederate fire raft is in the lower right. Fort St. Phillip is shown at right and Fort Jackson at left. Courtesy of the U.S. Navy Art Collection, Washington, D.C. |
