The map of the battle on the final page was made by crew member L.C. Passano, "who with indomitable energy and a couple of sail needles, made it after a number of failures. . . . Without a doubt it is the first thing of the kind done on a man-o'-war, and taking into consideration the difficulties under which our artist labored, it can pose as a work of art."
