That can't be a correct image

That can't be a correct image of the Brutus. According to the article, she's a schooner carrying an 18lbr. swivel gun (shell gun on a swivel?) and 9 smaller guns.

The picture looks to me like a brig, and I clearly see 7 gunports on the starboard side.

Any comments, or should we delete the picture? BTW - I see that the picture comes from the San Jacinto monument & museum, but still...
