Source Materiel is always welcome.

this is how my reverance pictures depicted her, as well as her sister ship USS Saugus(though I mostly based Techumseh's markings of of the Saugus's).

see:


also here:

Oh... lookit! It's that Yankee boat that's laying in my backyard!
I don't think you did her justice- that's way prettier than she'd have looked in real life, and she's also missing a big hole in her keel.

In all seriousness, though- very good work there, WWII44.
I might have to start answering your Union ironclads with some Southron ones.

thank ye I hape that after I finish with the Monitors all do the other Union Ironclads and the Wooden vessels too.

Re Passiac; I believe she had at one point had a very light grey and the top 3/4rds of the funnel and the top half of the trust were blue

There's no such thing as "nothing left to draw" If you can down 10 pints and draw, you're doing alright by my standards

Intresting, The next monitor on my todo list is the USS Casco.

I started on New Ironsides an age ago, but lost interest. If you want, I can give you what I've got and you can finish it.

that promises to be fun send it to me ASAP.

They were under construction when the Civil War ended and never completed. The lower hulls were constructed of unseasoned wood, dry-rot set in several years later, they were all condemned and broken up. A shame!

They were intended to be seagoing and might have been able to stand up to some of the best Europe had to offer. Despite the super slow rate of fire, those 15" guns packed a lot of throw weight. If the ball hit something, it broke.
