Re: CSS Virginia battles the [??????]...do you kno

Derrick,

An interesting note on this Photogravure by W.H. Overend is that by its location after the funnel we know that the cannon shown sticking out from the Tennessee is S-5, a VII inch double banded Brooke Rifle which was mounted as the stern pivot gun. S-5 is currently undergoing a restoration and remounting and can be seen in front of the Selma City Hall.
