The Galena picture as an "old photograph"

The ironclad gunboat Galena picture with the GIMP "old photograph" look applied.

The Galena as a screw sloop

The transformation of the armoured gunboat Galena into the screw sloop Galena is pretty amazing. In 1864, the Galena was fitted out without armour and with masts and sails as a screw sloop. In this guise, the Galena had a successful second career. The Galena even played an important role in the Battle of Mobile Bay, with the sloop Oneida lashed alongside. The Oneida had a boiler disabled, but the Galena carried the Oneida into the bay.

This is my attempt to make the ironclad gunboat Galena drawing look like a photograph.
