Title: USS Wateree
Description: (1864-1868) Beached at Arica, Chile, 430 yards above the usual high water mark, after she was deposited there by a tidal wave on 13 August 1868. Her iron hull was reasonably intact, but salvage was not economical, and she was sold where she lay. Courtesy of Murray Greene Day. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
