The image depicts the harrowing scene of the US frigate "Merrimac" engulfed in flames as Confederate forces set fire to the Gosport Navy Yard in Portsmouth, Virginia, in 1862. The artist's skillful rendering transports us to this chaotic maritime battleground of destruction and rebellion. The wooden shipyard and wharf provide a stark backdrop for the blazing inferno that consumes the historic vessel. This illustration captures both the power and vulnerability of naval warfare during this era. As we gaze upon this vintage artwork, we are reminded of the significance of this event within American military history.
