NH 53868 One of the "Ellet Rams"

Photo #: NH 53868 Photograph of a Civil War Western Rivers ram steamer, one of the Ellet Rams. This view was originally identified as USS General Price, but differs from that ship in many basic features. Instead, this is most probably one of the Ellet fleet's side-wheel rams, which included: Switzerland, Queen of the West, Monarch, and Lancaster.
