Is that photograph really Alagõas?
editWhile I don't claim to be an expert in naval vessels, I don't believe that the vessel in the photograph is of the real river monitor Alagōas. This is why I think so:
(1) I could be wrong, but this ship doesn't look to me like a monitor, but more like some sort of central casemate ship. Where's the oval rotary turret? (2) This photograph is anonymous and unsourced. (3) All extant verbal descriptions of Alagoas (e.g. Burton, Thompson) stressed her clean, uncluttered lines. (4) Above all, a sourced photograph of the real river monitor Alagoas shows she looked like this:
This photo, which I believe shows the real Brazilian monitor Alagōas, is reproduced in the article Passage of Humaitá, which also contains a detailed verbal description, sourced. I obtained that photo from the National Library of Brazil where, seemingly, it is carefully captioned. Ttocserp 15:01, 2 June 2017 (UTC)
