The Tower of Belem, Lisbon Harbor, Portugal
Firing on USS Niagara and USS Sacramento, 28 March
1865.
Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 13 May
1865, page 301.
This incident resulted when Niagara was shifting her berth
in the harbor and was briefly fired upon by the harbor fortification,
on the presumption that she was trying to follow CSS Stonewall
to sea before expiration of the 24-hour waiting period mandated
by international law. Portugal later apologized for the incident.
