Title: USS Nipsic
Description: (1879-1913) In the floating drydock at Honolulu, Hawaii, circa August 1889, after arriving from Samoa for repair of damage received during the 15-16 March 1889 Apia hurricane. Not only was the propeller bent beyond repair, but the rudder and rudderpost were torn away, as were the keel and deadwood below the propeller. Note the sailors (including two Chief Petty Officers wearing enlisted white hats), sanitary discharge chute running from the port quarter to the water, and rudder post bracket. The words corn meal are written on the lower right propeller blade. U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command Photograph.
