Naval History and Heritage Command says: Washington Navy Yard, D.C. Ships moored in the Anacostia River off the Yard’s waterfront, after the end of the Civil War, about 1865. The large twin-turret monitor in the center is Miantonomoh, with the smaller monitor Montauk tied up alongside her, to the left. In the left distance are the light draft monitor Chimo and the twin-turret monitor Tonawanda. The former Confederate ironclad Stonewall is beyond them. In the right distance is the Yard’s western shiphouse. Ship at right is probably USS Resaca.
