This photo is labeled Pensacola, but it is more than likely the Tuscarora. Note deckhouse on her stern and whale boats are blocking view of area where her main boiler stack would be located. The Tuscarora was in the South Pacific Squadron
during this time and likely was at Mare Island. Camanche is aft of the ship. Photo maybe circa 1865. |
