"United States Mississippi Gun-boats being built at Carondelet,
near St. Louis, Missouri"
Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 5 October
1861.
It depicts, rather inaccurately, the construction of four of
the "City" class ironclads by James Eads, including
Carondelet, Louisville, Pittsburg and Saint
Louis.
