Those are...
...great photographs bearing a lot of historical significance for both Rhode Island, and the military.
You may want to contact the folks at the Center For Creative Photography at the University of Arizona. They have the archives for Ansel Adams, Edward Weston, and others. Ansel Adams used glass plates for some of his photography. I would guess that the archivists there would have some good advice for you.

You could clean the yacht image right up in Photo Shop. I love the Gatling gun picture. I used to teach hunter safety with a retired doctor that had a Gatling just like that. I got to shoot it once he rebuilt it and chambered it for 45-70 - lots of fun! He had a walk-in gun vault at his house with lots of treasures in it, including a 1911 made by The Singer Sewing Machine Company (Really Rare), He had been a B24 pilot in WWII and had lots of great stories to tell, I miss him still.

The curator at Springfield Armory dragged me into their gatling exhibit... showed the headspace knob on the breech was later model. Earlier model had it on the muzzle between the barrels.
Note: gatlings have no safety & no way to remove live rounds from the chambers without firing. Don't think I'd care to put any part of my body in front of the muzzle.
Also the interior tent views, are quite rare.
