US Navy photo # NH 49997 from the collections of the US Naval History and Heritage Command Aryeh Wetherhorn 217k "Red River Expedition, March-May 1864" Watercolor by James Alden, depicting the monitors USS Neosho and USS Osage running through a break in the Red River dam to pass safely over the rapids, 9 May 1864. This passage took advantage of an accidental break in the dam, which was being built by Army engineers to raise the river level enough to permit passage of all the vessels trapped above. Four gunboats passed through at this time: USS Lexington (which went first), USS Neosho (second), USS Fort Hindman and USS Osage.
