CSS Virginia (1862-1862)
Line engraving published in "Harper's Weekly", 1861.
Entitled "The Rebel Steamer 'Merrimac', Razeed, and Iron-Clad
-- From a Sketch furnished by a Mechanic who was employed on
Board.", it presents a very inaccurate depiction of the
ship. Virginia was converted from the hulk of the steam
frigate USS Merrimack.
