One photograph of a gunboat known as the Monitor Sangus dated 1864. Taken by Egbert Guy Fowx. The title is taken from the inscription on the recto. The image shows "Saginaw," a Federal steamer, and "Sangus," a monitor [ironclad], on the James River. The hull of "Sangus" appears to be painted white, and the canvas has been strung up over the deck to provide shelter from the elements. Army camp tents can be seen in the background along the opposite bank of the river.
