31099. (matted photo image) U.S. Revenue Cutter John Sherman 1860’s view. This appears to be an early photo image of a detailed drawing or lithograph of the U.S. Revenue Cutter John Sherman as seen in 1860’s. Very small lettering on the original reads “Revenue Cutters Built By Peck (unreadable) Cleveland, O 1868 Engines by Fletcher Harrison & Co (Newsome?)”. Image measures 6 ½” x 9 ½” on mounting mat and is extremely clean and detailed. Note the Revenue Cutter Service ensigns on the mainmast and on the stern, and the RCS commissioning pennant. On the bow is the revenue Cutter Jack flag. Not also the seal of the Revenue Cutter Service on the paddle wheel. The revenue cutter John Sherman, was commissioned on 1 May 1866 after being constructed in Cleveland, Ohio, for service on the Great Lakes. She patrolled the waters of the Great Lakes during the navigation season and was decommissioned and laid up during the winter months, usually from late-November until May. She was decommissioned on 21 October 1871 and was sold on 25 June 1872 and was converted for merchant service as a schooner in 1893. A very interesting and displayable piece – deserves more research. Clean, very presentable. (VG). $145.
