The Steam Frigate USS Chicago Off Gravesend, by Charles Charles Thornely

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Steam Frigate USS Chicago Off Gravesend, by Charles Thornely.

The steam-sailer USS Chicago, one of only four American warships of this type ever built. Classified "Protected Cruisers", they were the first steel hulled warships commissioned by the U.S. Navy and marked the end of iron hulls used for U.S. warships.

Known as the ABCD ships from their names Atlanta, Boston, Chicago and Dolphin, these four vessels, due to their slowness and prohibitive cost, were soon retired. Authorized in 1883, the 4,500 ton Chicago was the largest of the four. She was replaced in 1889 by a modern cruiser bearing the same name.

Licensing

[edit]
This is a faithful photographic reproduction of a two-dimensional, public domain work of art. The work of art itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain

The author died in 1898, so this work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 100 years or fewer.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1929.

This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.
The official position taken by the Wikimedia Foundation is that "faithful reproductions of two-dimensional public domain works of art are public domain".
This photographic reproduction is therefore also considered to be in the public domain in the United States. In other jurisdictions, re-use of this content may be restricted; see Reuse of PD-Art photographs for details.
