Product Information

Excerpt from Address of Ensign William H. Michael The ironclads had been built hurriedly by Capt. James B. Eads, an all-round engineering genius, and the three wooden vessels - Tyler, Lexington, and Conestoga - had been constructed out of towboats at Cincinnati, under the supervision of Capt. John Rogers, of the Navy. In September, 1861, Captain Foote, afterwards Rear Admiral, took command of this fleet. He called the naval force a hybrid service, which it certainly was. Soon after taking command he added thirty-eight mortar boats, which were simply flat-boats made of solid blocks of timber, without machinery of any kind, and capable of supporting one 13-inch mortar mounted in the center. In August, when work on the construction of this fleet began, there was fund out of which to meet the expense, materials at hand, and well-defined understanding as to just what the vessels should be, r whether they should be under the War or the Navy Department. The new force was unlike anything hitherto kwn, and most of the old army and navy people shook their heads at the proposed experiment.
