Naval Officers of the Civil War - This site has galleries of pictures of nearly 400 officers who served in the sea services of the Union and Confederacy during the American Civil War. In addition to sorting alphabetically by name, there are several galleries of men without names or with indeterminate ranks or allegiances.
Featured on the left is Alexander Morely Pennock, Captain, USN. Unfortunately, there is no biographical information on Captain Pennock or any other of the men pictured. The emphasis of the site is strictly on pictures which in and of itself is useful.
If you are looking for Civil War era pictures, this would be a good site to start at as all the pictures are in the public domain. The site creator noted, "All of the pictures in the galleries were adapted from pictures in the public domain, and I don't claim copyright on anything on the site. Feel free to use whatever you want." Of course, all Civil War era pictures are in the public domain but some sites try to claim copyright based on scanning and photo "enhancements." This site has no such bogus copyright confusion included.
