Image courtesy of: Steve Heselton
Photographers number:692
Title:Trial Trip of the Comanche, San Francisco
Date Photographed: 1865
Notes:Trial trip from San Francisco to Mare Island was "entirely successful" as reported in Jan. 23, 1865 Sacramento Daily Union. Note that a second "trial trip" occurred on Feb. 10, 1865 at Mare Island and San Pablo Bay where guns were tested. Since view 692 is at San Francisco, it is presumably the start of the Jan. 21, 1865 trial trip. (information provided by Jeff Watt)

Create a New Tag
  • Before creating a new tag check for a similar or equivalent tag.
  • Avoid long tag names. Use a single word or as few words as possible.
  • Don't use abbreviations or contractions.
  • In general tags should be singular rather than plural (tree, not trees, etc.).
  • Spell out street numbers (First Street rather than 1st Street).
  • If the text of a tag needs to be edited after it's created send an email request to information@carletonwatkins.org.
