Summary

English: The protected cruiser San Francisco (Cruiser No. 5) rides at anchor in the white-and-buff of the 1890s. Her wood-paneled wheelhouse and her 6-inch broadside battery give her an old-fashioned effect that combines oddly with her steel hull and breechloading guns. A pedestal-mounted 6-pounder rapid-fire gun, along with a similarly-mounted Gatling gun, can be seen just below the second stack; other such guns, intended for close-in defense against torpedo boats, are mounted elsewhere on San Francisco's decks. She carries heavy spars on fore- and mainmasts, but no sails.


USS San Francisco (C-5/CM-2) was a steel protected cruiser in the United States Navy. She was later named Tahoe and then Yosemite.

San Francisco was launched on 26 October 1889 at the Union Iron Works, San Francisco, California;
