Jouett and Captain O.F. Stanton, members of the color guard posed with a Gatling gun, military exercises aboard the ship, a landing party, and more, each 9.25 x 7.25 in., mounted one to a page. All images credited to Hatton and Hart, photographers, 15 City Hall Square, New York. Ca 1885-1886.
Until May 1869, the USS Tennessee had been known as the USS Madawaska. At the time that the ship was renamed the Tennessee, she was timbered up to the necessary height to allow a spar deck to be installed and was fitted with new, more powerful engines capable of developing 3,200 horsepower. The Tennessee's duties included service as flagship of the Asiatic Squadron under Rear Admiral William Reynolds, and by 1879, she was flagship of the North Atlantic Squadron under Rear Admiral Robert W. Wyman. Between September 1884 and June 1886, the Tennessee served under the command of Rear Admiral Jouett. The album was likely produced during this period of time. In 1885, Jouett led the forces that were sent to the Isthmus of Panama, quelling the rioting and restoring transit across the isthmus (Moebs, 2000: 60).
Moebs, Thomas Truxton. America's Naval Heritage: a Catalog of Early Imprints from the Navy Department Library. Washington: Naval Historical Center, Dept. of the Navy, 2000, p. 60.Wear to blue cloth covers, especially along spine, with some partial separation of cloth from boards. Some spotting on first albumen, which is actually an image of a painting/print of the Tennessee. It appears that a previous owner's child got a hold of the album, as there are doodles on the back of at least 8 of the mounts, as well as numbers added in brown crayon along the lower margin of each photo's mount. Photos have undergone some toning. Mounts with some edge and corner wear, including chipping along few edges, corners. Text block coming loose from spine.Condition
