Overview of Civil War era Navy Veteran Service Document
Item Details
An unusually large (30"x 38")personalized Civil War era Navy Veteran Service Document in good shape with a few water stains. It documents the service Harry Keakans, a sailor in 1861 and on the USS Colorado first at the Portsmouth Naval Yard and then the Gulf Squadron. He was discharged after two years and re-enlisted for two more. Still serving on the Colorado, he participated in the bombardments at Ft Fisher in Wilmington, NC. Damaged, the Colorado was at Brooklyn Navy Yard when Lincoln was shot. Keakans was ordered with the Colorado on a "round the world cruise" to search for the assassins. Honorably discharged in 1867, this print was given to him by his wife in 1893. The image was designed by J.W. Carnahan, 1891, for Monumental Bronze Company, Bridgeport, Connecticut, This large print was sold to finance the Easel Monument Project, which was an 1890s effort to create a memorial to the "Brave Boys in Blue" to be placed in the center of the Union Soldiers and Sailors National Park in 1898. This image is an artifact from an unsuccessful effort to create "a National Monument, dedicated to the Grand Army of the Republic and Kindred Societies." Comes with a patriotic frame, but no glass.
