• DESCRIPTION: This chromolithograph, Plate No. 18 from "Old Naval Prints by Fred S. Cozzens," published in 1893, features three notable vessels: USS Cincinnati (Protected Cruiser), USS Terror (Monitor), and USS Indiana (Battleship). The collection highlights the diversity of ship types that represented the United States Navy's growing power and technological advancement during the late 19th century. <br><br> USS Cincinnati (Protected Cruiser, 1894–1919) USS Cincinnati was a protected cruiser, the lead ship of her class, launched on November 10, 1892, and commissioned on June 16, 1894. Designed for long-range patrols and showing the U.S. Navy's global reach, Cincinnati served prominently during the Spanish-American War, where she was involved in blockading operations off Cuba and Puerto Rico. After the war, she continued to serve in various capacities, including duties in the Pacific, Caribbean, and Asiatic waters. Cincinnati was decommissioned in 1919, and later sold for scrap in 1921.<br><br> USS Terror (Monitor, 1896–1921) USS Terror was an ironclad monitor originally laid down during the Civil War but not completed until 1896 due to multiple delays and redesigns. Built for coastal defense, Terror featured heavy armor and two large-caliber guns. She played a role in the Spanish-American War, particularly in the bombardment of San Juan, Puerto Rico. After the war, Terror served as a training ship and in reserve until she was decommissioned in 1919 and sold for scrap in 1921.<br><br> USS Indiana (Battleship, 1895–1919) USS Indiana was a pre-dreadnought battleship, one of the first modern battleships of the U.S. Navy, launched on February 28, 1893, and commissioned on November 20, 1895. Indiana was heavily armored and armed with four 13-inch guns, marking a significant leap in naval firepower. She played a crucial role during the Spanish-American War, especially in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, where her firepower helped defeat the Spanish fleet. After the war, Indiana served in various capacities, including as a training ship, until her decommissioning in 1919. She was later used as a target and eventually sold for scrap in 1924.
