I have been hunting around trying to find the smoke stack colours for the various ships. I eventually found the following. Can anybody confirm these are right?

Cairo: gray
Cardondelet: red
Cincinatti: blue
Louisville: green
Mound City: orange
Pittsburg: brown
St. Louis: yellow

Alright, finally I have a target ship for my CSS Arkansas! Thanks for all the effort, she looks like a beauty. Christmas has come early.

Sporticus,

Confirm colors except for shades, for instance Pittsburg: light brown. FYI, I plan to do all of them by the end of the year. Got the research already done on four of them. There are more and bigger differences than just the stack color.

Oh, that sounds interesting. I assumed there would be some other differences.
