專家說明

A contemporary brass plaque on the display pedestal of this figure reads, Leatherneck The Leatherneck is an American militia soldier figurehead from the Veteran launched at Portland, Maine, in 1862 and retired from service in 1886. Veteran had two decks, and was 167 feet long, 28 feet wide.

The 1830-1860 era soldier, or Leatherneck, wore a high leather collar around his neck as protection during battle. Although a military unit was signified by its uniform colors, the identity of the Leatherneck unit is unknown because the original colors have been changed on the figurehead.
