"The United States Steamer 'Mississippi' crippling the Ram
'Manassas,' April 24."
Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 1862,
depicting USS Mississippi in action with CSS Manassas,
during the battle off Forts Jackson and St. Philip, 24 April
1862.
The depiction of Manassas is rather inaccurate.
