The Daily Dispatch: March 19, 1861., [Electronic resource], A Navy for the Confederated States. (search)
Northwestern States. With their full armament on board they will draw thirty- six inches of water, thus presenting but a very narrow target to the enemy. "The plan of these boats, as a cheap substitute for a Southern navy, is due to Commander Hartstein, and they are to be completed for $3,200 each — the armaments to be furnished by the Richmond foundry. Twenty of these scows are to be delivered on or before the 31st of next July, and the balance by the end of October. Three of them are led respectively the South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia, and Mr. Boole is confident that he can easily complete his contract within the time specified. There were two ship-builders in this city amongst the bidders, the bid of one being $3,750 for each scow, and that of the other $4,200. Commander Hartstein believes that these vessels, almost wholly submerged in the water, will prove of more use and receive far less damage than Lieut. Hamilton's costly and dangerous iron-plated battery."
