Opis: The Confederate Steam Navy - Donald L. Canney

An illustrated overview of the steam vessels deployed by the Confederate Navy during the American Civil War. 

This is the first book-length study devoted to the vessels of the Confederate Navy, including all types used during the conflict:  ironclads (both domestic and foreign-built), commerce raiders, blockade runners, riverine and ocean-going gunboats, torpedo and submersible vessels, and floating batteries.

The book emphasizes the development, construction, and design of these vessels using, where available, original plans, photographs, and contemporary descriptions. The author describes these vessels in context with wartime conditions as well as with the transitional naval technology of the era. 

Over 100 vessels are detailed, including more than 30 ironclads, both American and foreign built. Over 150 illustrations are included, many of which have not previously been published. Also included is a section on steam engine technology of the era.
