That can't be a correct image

[edit]

That can't be a correct image of the Brutus. According to the article, she's a schooner carrying an 18lbr. swivel gun (shell gun on a swivel?) and 9 smaller guns.

The picture looks to me like a brig, and I clearly see 7 gunports on the starboard side.

Any comments, or should we delete the picture? BTW - I see that the picture comes from the San Jacinto monument & museum, but still...

This site says that the image is of the Texas Navy Ship Wharton. Artist: Fred Toler. From "Ships of the Texas Navy; A Limited Edition Portfolio of Fine Prints"; by David B. Gracy II and Jean Carefoot; Presidial Press © 1978. I'm removing Image:Texan_schooner_Brutus.jpg from this article. --Evb-wiki 20:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
