1. Mock battle between forces of land and sea, held in the exposition’s racetrack, near what is now Crissy Field. 2. The highlight of the evening was yet another fake battle, this one a re-enactment of the Civil War encounter between the Confederate Merrimac and the Union Monitor. 3. Launches carried visitors out to the bay to visit U.S. Navy warships that were anchored offshore. From the Darlene Thorne Collection |
