Description
At the start of the American Civil War, neither side had warships on the Mississippi River and in the first few months both sides scrambled to gather a flotilla, converting existing riverboats for naval use.
These ships were transformed into powerful naval weapons despite a lack of resources, trained manpower and suitable vessels.
The creation of a river fleet was a miracle of ingenuity, improvisation and logistics, particularly for the South.
This title describes their design, development and operation throughout the American Civil War.
