I'm surprised at the size of the openings in the last photo. This sure allow random shots to pass through and devastate the ship...

Cool photos! :coeurs: :coeurs:
Looks way bigger that i imagined! :blink:
I must be mixing the Monitor type (that was much smaller i think) with this kind of big river ironclads.
Pocus, look at the sides gun ports shown on some of the photos. They have some kind of window shutter that lefts just a tiny opening for the gun :)
I guess the front port guns had something like that.

Wow, it's huge! :w00t:
Gray, thank you for these wonderful pictures. ;)
I also would have bet that was smaller.

Regards! :thumbsup:
