I'm not an expert, but an avid student of the Naval conflict. Mark Ragan's volume includes some details of the EXPLORER, including a sketch of this "submarine boat."
Built under the private auspices of chief engineer of the Pacific Pearl Company, Julius Kroehl, at New York, the vessel was never in the Union Navy. In the summer of 1864, she was towed to the Pearl Islands, near the Bay of Panama, where she was used in the harvesting of pearl oysters.
