This great period naval tin features the USS BALTIMORE. This ship fought in the 1895 Battle of Manila under Commodore Dewey, and the note attached states that the tin belonged to a sailor under Dewey's command. The tin features an image of the ship with US Navy Flags and White Squadron.
The small note attached to the top reads, "Fought in the Battle of Manila in 1891 under Commodore Dewey. Was the only ship to only have six casualties. The former owner of this tin was under Dewey's command."
