This vintage artwork transports us back to a time when transportation by steam power revolutionized warfare. It serves as a reminder of how crucial naval dominance was for both sides during this rebellion against federal authority.

This woodcut print is an invaluable historical artifact that offers us a glimpse into one aspect of America's tumultuous past - its naval war during the Civil War era.
