US Naval History and Heritage Command photo # NH 59308 Bill Gonyo 47k Unknown artist's rendition of USS Savannah, probably in the 19th century, giving an impression of the maze of standing (fixed) and running (movable) rigging that supported a sailing ship's masts and yards and controlled the movement of her sails. This drawing gives a clearer idea of Savannah's hull than do many photographs of the period; the dull black paint used on wooden warships often makes hull detail indistinguishable.
