Shipbuild and Thumbdog, thank you for the compliments, much appreciated
Thumbdog, yes she is a double ended craft, a rudder both fore and aft to enable her to extricate herself from troubling situations without having to go about. According to the information I have Secretary Welles ordered some 30 similar craft for the fleet. The construction forward was meant to ward off or discover torpedos/mines that the dastardly enemy may have planted in the James River.
