A unique view of sailors taking part in training exercises aboard the USS Santee, captioned on verso U.S. Gunnery Ship "Santee" during action. "Boarders Away!" With W.M. Chase/D. Bachrach, U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD backmark. A wooden-hulled, three-masted sailing frigate of the U.S. Navy, the USS Santee (1820-1912) was acquired by the Union Navy in 1861 and outfitted with heavy guns and a crew of 480. She was assigned as a gunship in the Union blockade of the Confederacy and saw a great deal of hand-to-hand fighting at sea, which resulted in the capture of a number of Confederate schooners, including the Garonne. In January 1862, the Santee was assigned to Flag Officer David Farragut's new West Gulf Blockading Squadron, and was responsible for blockading the Texas Coast, mainly off Galveston, through the end of August, when she was decommissioned. She later became a training ship for the U.S. Navy. Condition: Even toning to carte; corners rounded.
