Warning

[edit]

Users wishing to use this image should be aware that it is not correct, even though it is disseminated by an agency of the United States Government. Observe that the two paddle wheels of the ship in the image are side by side; in actuality, they were mounted one abaft the other. This is not a trivial point, as one of the major issues concerning her value as a warship was her lack of mobility, which resulted from her peculiar design. - The source of this incorrect image (US Naval Historical Center) at the link below also has a plan view of CSS Louisiana showing the correct arrangement.
