That is an interesting steamboat, Corey. I admire the research work you do to even find those things, and then to design your beautiful models of them is a truly impressive achievement.
Do you know if the CSS General Sterling Price was purpose-built as a warship? And whatever the original intended purpose of the ship, do you know the rationale behind her rather unusual features? (Paddle Wheels so far back, stacks so far forward, great length compared to width.) Where were the engines placed? How effective was compressed cotton at stopping cannon balls? A very interesting vessel, indeed.
