Thanks so very much, Gil!
Great photo, and it seems to be a rudder shape very similar to that portrayed in the Smithsonian model (the last photo in my prior post)...not exactly fat but also not thin either...a rudder with some heft.
I recall reading the Olympia had a rudder with a wooden core, something I had not heard of before. Would love to find a photo like this for the Olympia, but the similarity is possibly not coincidence but could be the construction practise of the Union Iron Works.
45 stars...1896 when Utah joined the Union....
