That looks like a monitor dressed up with canvas in the background.

The monitor is the U.S.S. Saugus with shade canvas in place. The ship in the foreground is the U.S.S. Mackinaw.

USS Essex was originally constructed in 1856 at New Albany, Indiana as a steam-powered ferry named New Era. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Essex_(1856)

Unfortunately my eyesight precludes stereo view. But I do recall my Bro (RIP) telling me a ballistics story about these ironclad monitors. One side or the other invented such thick armour they were ball shot proof. However, the other side (from a fort at a higher elevation) poured so much shot on the thing (which couldn't move quickly) that the extra weight caused her to list and sink. I cannot find the references now though - who is good at detective work?

Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Veterans of the American Civil War, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

After the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, eight of the suspected conspirators were incarcerated in monitors Saugus and Montauk below decks under heavy guard. The prisoners were manacled with wrist and leg irons and blindfolded. They were later transferred to the Arsenal Penitentiary located on the ground now occupied by Fort McNair. Three were later to be hanged, three sentenced to prison terms, and two released without being brought to trial.
