MAKING AN IRCNCLAD.

Reports reached tho Navy Department
that the Merrmac had been raised and
that a substantial structure of timber re-
semblng a citadel with inclined sides was
being built on the hull. In August. 1851
the Navy Department advertised for plans
and Cfers for ironclad steam batteries.
Having had an opportunity to explain his
plan John Ericsson received The contract

vessel was l72 feet long, Il feet wide. and
drew 10 feet as compared with 90 feet for
the Merrmac. Her length. ii is seen. was
approximately 40 feet less than that Of the
Confederate vessel. Practically the only
structures rising above the raft like deck
when the vessel was in battle trim were the
low. cubical pilot house near the bow and
the 20-foot turrct amdships. The former
rose less than four feet above the deck and
was made OF iron logs 9xl2 inches. laid
