The USS Concord took part in the Battle of Manilla Bay in 1898. This is a photograph dating from 1891. The Concord was actually a small cruiser, with a displacement of 1710 tons and with 6-4in guns.

About Me
- Jim
- I spent 11 years on active duty in the navy. Half was as an enlisted man and half as an officer. My Dad had interested me in the navy and ships, when I was young. I found that I was attracted to doing research, regardless of topic, although much of that research has been in the fields of naval and military history. My Dad was also an artist, and got me drawing and painting since I was three. Much of my work consists of portraits of military and naval historical figures, as well as ships and tanks.
