Hmmm. This is interesting. Wasn't the Capitol a steamer used by the Confederates as a berthing vessel for the crew of the Arkansas? I seem to remember that they used her Doctor engine and hoists for recovering material from the bottom of the river and moving heavy items from the dock to the Arkansas. I'm drawing a complete blank on the Albemarle and Guthrie. Have to start digging though some references. Good stuff. best,
