Further to my previous reply, both this vessel and CSS Powell, a paddle wheel "Bigbee boat" were not commissioned in fact, but it seems could not be crewed. the CSN having run out of sailors at Mobile.
As Powell was neither armed nor armored, it is possible that Montgomery was armed ( she has guns in the sketch) but not armored when the artist saw her, a possible explanation for the wide gun ports.
I'll leave it to you Corey if you want to show her with Arkansas style gun ports.
