The War For The Union. Photographic History. War Views. 1861-1865. No. 51. Signal Station on board the U.S. Steamer Vermont. This view shows the deck of the steamer with the signal officer standing near his spy glass, and on either side of him are his signal men with their flags ready to send or receive a message from land, or from other vessels on the blockade. This is a splendid view. [John H. Taylor stereo card]
