Photograph of a drawing of the capture of Mexican-held Monterey by the American Navy, July 4, 1846. Two large warships are anchored off the coast at right. Coming from these ships is a steady line of small dinghies full of soldiers headed to the coast. On the land, an American flag has been raised outside of the wooden Mexican Maritime Custom House. The presidio is at the foot of the hill and the ruins of the castle walls are visible.
