English: USS Galena- 1862 early ironclad experimental ship, whose light armor was judged insufficient. Photograph looking forward along the ship's port side, shortly after her 15 May 1862 action with Confederate batteries at Drewry's Bluff, on the James River, Virginia. Among the items visible are the muzzles of two of Galena's IX-inch Dahlgren smoothbore guns; her unique horizontally-laid interlocking iron side armor; armored gunport shutters; boat davits; members of her crew. Visible is a plugged hole from enemy shot (near the waterline in bottom left center), and a cannon ball embedded further to the right, also at waterline.
