Confederate Floating Battery

On April 3, 1862 the City Class Gunboats Cincinatti and Pittsburgh, along with the Benton and three towed Mortar Boats, opened fire on Island No. 10. The Confederates had a floating battery in the area that received fire, cutting her hawsers and letting her drift. Has anyone ever come across images of this floating battery, either in drawing or photographic?
