Summary
[edit]DescriptionCss david attack 2.jpg |
English: CSS David attack on USS New Ironsides: The torpedo boat approached undetected. Her spar torpedo detonated under the starboard quarter of the ironclad, throwing a high column of water which rained back upon the Confederate vessel and put out her boiler fires. With her engine dead, David hung under the starboard quarter of the New Ironsides while small arms fire from the Federal ship spattered the water around the torpedo boat. Believing that their vessel was sinking, Glassell and two others abandoned her; the pilot, Walker Cannon, who could not swim, remained on board. A short time later, Assistant Engineer J. H. Tomb swam back to the craft and climbed on board. Reigniting the fires, Tomb succeeded in getting David’s engine working again, and the torpedo boat steamed up the channel to safety. New Ironsides, though not sunk, was seriously damaged by the explosion." Harper's Weekly, A Journal of Civilization. |
