THE NAVY-YARD AT
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.
INTERIOR OF FORT SUMTER.
ONE of the officers of Major
ANDERSON'S command in FORT SUMTER has kindly placed at our disposal some more
sketches of the interior of that work, and we publish the accompanying
engravings from them. They explain themselves, and we need say no more than
refer to their titles.
THE NORFOLK NAVY-YARD.
THE recent excitement in Virginia
on the secession question renders the accompanying picture of the Norfolk
Navy-yard appropriate at the present time. Viewed in conjunction with our recent
pictures of Fort Monroe, it completes a series of pictures of Norfolk which is
valuable and interesting.
The Norfolk Navy-yard is one of
the best in the United States It is provided with all the usual furniture of a
navyyard —ship-houses, storehouses,
founderies, etc., and has,
besides, a granite dock which cost a million of dollars. At this navy-yard is
anchored, as receiving-ship, the old Pennsylvania,
the largest line-of-battle ship
in the world. She is shown in the foreground of our picture.
THE UNITED STATES FRIGATE
"SABINE" OFF FORT PICKENS.
WE publish on page 165, from a
sketch furnished us by a United States officer serving in
Pensacola Harbor, a
picture of the United States frigate
Sabine, now lying off that harbor. The
Sabine is an old vessel, built in the old style, but is still well considered by
naval men. She was the flag-ship of the Paraguay expedition, and was at that
time illustrated in our columns. She is now lying off
Fort Pickens, so as to be
ready to give aid to that fort in case it is attacked. Her commander is one of
the most gallant officers in the Navy, and has expressed very fierce indignation
at the treachery (Next
