Title: Nictheroy
Description: (Brazilian auxiliary cruiser, 1893-1898, formerly S.S. El Cid, later USS Buffalo) View on board, probably taken while fitting out for Brazilian Navy service in November 1893 at the Morgan Iron Works, New York City. Shown looking forward from near the stern, aft of the main mast. The gun is probably one of the ship's nine one-pounder Hotchkiss quick-fire weapons, eight of which were mounted on top of the deck houses. She also had two 1-pounder Hotchkiss machine guns on top of the pilot house. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
