U.S.N. Images Various Guns

These are very clear close ups.
Notice the 6 Pr case, likely a Saluting Blank.
One Maxim looks like it was painted Grey and is clearly a Vikers Maxim made gun, the other one looks like a later version.
Gun Boat with 3 or 6 Pr. and so on.

ebay mostly

Isthmusbooks are selling reprints of these and lots more of ships but not so close up for detail, rememberthemaine has the postcard and the 40' cutter was on a page heading. I came across them by chance having nothing better to do~
