USS Enterprise (1877-1909)
"Rally on the Flag": Sailors and Marines in close combat
drill with small arms, probably while the ship was at the New
York Navy Yard, circa spring 1890.
Photographed by E.H. Hart, New York City.
Rifles are "trap-door Springfield" types. Some Sailors
are wearing double row loop cartridge belts.
Note the "bodies" on the deck, and the landing force
ammunition caisson in the lower right.
