There is an additional image of the USS Muscoota in the 1967 volume of the Long Island Forum, at page 205. The credit for the picture reads "Courtesy, The Mariners Museum, Newport News, Va." I have been researching her as part of a project involving Civil War vets of Cranford, NJ. One of our former citizens, John W. Tripp, served on her as an "assistant surgeon steward," according to news accounts in his later years in town.
