Description

AT THE MARINERS' MUSEUM, in an object that would fit in your palm, is a mystery within a mystery. When discovered a few months ago, it took the breath away from several observers. The story begins something like 180 years ago, when a young midshipman, obviously thrilled about his new career in the U.S. Navy, sat for his portrait. As was common in the day, the portrait artist created the miniature likeness of his subject on ivory. It was chiseled into a perfect oval and framed in ornamented brass.
