I agree on these comments, and, as such, I will continue to keep an open mind on the CSS PONTCHARTRAIN, until, as I stated before, some form of official documentation comes to light to finally confirm or enlighten us on her movements, etc.
I was still quite surprised, though, to come across such a large number of errors in the USN and CSN vessel data, in Series 2, volume 1. There is obviously a lack of data on the CSN vessels, as a number of the entries only include one or two liners, and obviously, the compilers of this data were clearly ignoring some of the information included in some of the dispatches included in other volumes of the series.
