Photographs of Hawaii and the ships Nipsic, Vandalia, and Trenton in Samoa [graphic]. ca. 1889.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/45967616

Three scenic views of Hawaii: an outrigger with Diamond Head in background, Diamond Head from Punchbowl, and a view numbered 237 and captioned "Pali from spring". This view includes what appears to be the lense board of a stereo camera in the foreground. The other views relate to three American naval ships caught by a storm at Apia, Samoa on March 15-16, 1889. Two views picture the beached gunboat Nipsic, the sunken screw sloop Vandalia, and the screw steamer Trenton; one shows the surviving Nipsic some time after the disaster.

6 photographic prints : albumen ; 18 x 24 cm. or smaller.
