This is a picture of the USS Galena. The picture was taken in about 1862. The USS Galena was a state-of-the-art ironclad Warship. Creation of such ironclad ships in the Civil War changed the balance of power in the world, as it made virtually obsolete the entire British Navy, which had dominated the seas for many years.Tuesday, October 14, 2008
