RARE 1863 Mounted Civil War Group Photo US Navy UNION Officers USS Richmond VA

  

This is an original photograph capturing Union Navy officers aboard the USS Richmond during the American Civil War, likely dated to 1862. The USS Richmond, a steam sloop of war, was a key vessel in the Union Navy and played a prominent role in several critical naval engagements, including the Battle of Mobile Bay and the attack on Port Hudson. The USS Richmond is historically significant for its service during the Civil War, and the bravery of its crew, including Medal of Honor recipients, has been well-documented.

This photograph offers a rare and authentic glimpse into the leadership of one of the Union Navy's key vessels during a pivotal period in American history. Label on mount seems to be inaccurate. The US DOD official website (as well as others) features the same photo referred to as the USS Richmond not the USS Nipsic. Photo Measures 5.25 x 8. Measures 8 x 10 mounted.
