Appreciate the pictures a bunch. Ship construction was in such a state of flux between the Civil War and the advent of Dreadnought. Fascinating to see some of it pictured above.

A Dynamite gun cruiser ? Wow that must be one of these rare ships which are in the same coolness league as the Ise. [8D]

I think it is the Vesuvius (1888). Those are pneumatic dynamite guns.

Here's a shot of a boxing match, circa 1897, on the USS Oregon.

I have no clue as to what ships or anything the following pictures are of, but they are all from 1900-1920s.

Judging by the location of the cage-masts, funnels, and elevated turret, I believe the first picture you showed is a midships view looking forward, of a Florida-class BB, either Florida (BB-30) or Utah (BB-31). The class had 6 twin gun turrets of that design, and I think the elevated foreground turret is what the USN would call Turret #3, or what the British would call the P-Turret.
Here's a stern view of the Utah:
