Wow, this is an interesting resource! Never expected I'd be able to model the Battle of Manila Bay, which preceded the handover of the Philippines from Spain to the USA.
Other than the USS Monterey I've only found the Isla de Cuba and Isla de Luzon, and of course I would need the USS Olympia - many years since I visited her in Philadelphia. Anybody know of other models of veterans of the Philippine campaign?
