I need photos or prints and equipment used by Russian Marines and Navy personnel of 1863

I am organizing an 1863 group to portray members of the Russian Navy and Marines who helped save the Union by surrounding New York and San Francisco harbors for seven months in order to keep the British from siding with the Confederacy, thus bringing the war to an end sooner and saving the Union (not that, in its present condition, that has turned out to be a great accomplishment)
