EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Federal fleet at Hampton Roads, December 1864" takes us back to a significant moment in American history. The image showcases the mighty naval power of the Federal fleet during the American Civil War. The scene is set at Hampton Roads, Virginia, in December 1864. The print depicts a wide array of formidable warships that formed part of the Federal fleet during this critical period. Among them are iconic vessels such as Mohican, New Ironsides, Mackinaw, Powhatan, and Brooklyn. The artist skillfully captures the grandeur and strength of these ships as they navigate through the waters with purpose and determination. Each vessel stands tall against a backdrop of turbulent waves and cloudy skies - symbolic of the challenges faced by both sides during this tumultuous time. This particular engraving was created by an anonymous artist from the 19th century for Harper's Pictorial History of the Civil War published by McDonnell Bros in 1886. Thanks to digital restoration techniques applied to this image over time, we can now appreciate its intricate details more vividly. As we gaze upon this historic print today, it serves as a reminder of not only America's past but also its resilience and unity in times of conflict. It pays homage to those who fought valiantly on these very ships for their beliefs and ideals during one of our nation's most defining moments - the American Civil War.
