Historic USS Columbia, all dressed up, ca.1898 albumen photo

Description

(Watermark not on actual photo!)
Original Albumen photo of the USS Columbia, probably taken in 1898
3.5 x 3.5 inches, some corner wear, not as dark as scan (matt albumens don't scan well); clean back.
I found a similar photo online: the boat is returning to New York from the Spanish-American War, all dressed up in celebration. That photo is titled:
"USS
Columbia
Saluting in New York Harbor in August of 1898
"
Again, an awesome research experience and so much learned in the process!
