The link above is to a high-quality albumen print from a glass plate taken on the USS Kearsarge, shortly after the battle with CSS Alabama. The print itself was made in the 1880s, and the names of the officers are written on the verso.
Who is the African-American(?) officer in the back row, third from right? What is his story?
