Lawrence & Co . , Portland , ME , and launched 25 July 1865 , and completed 28 October 1865 . " Wassuc " was a " Casco " - class , light - draft monitor intended for service in the shallow bays , rivers , and inlets of the Confederacy . These warships sacrificed armor plate for a shallow draft and were fitted with a ballast compartment designed to lower them in the water during battle . Design revisions . Though the original designs for the " Casco " - class monitors were drawn by John Ericsson , the final revision was created by Chief Engineer Alban C . Stimers following Rear Admiral Samuel F . Du Pont ' s failed bombardment of Fort Sumter in 1863 . By the time that the plans were put before the Monitor Board in New York City , Ericsson and Simers had a poor relationship , and Chief of the Bureau of Construction and Repair John Lenthall had little connection to the board . This resulted in the plans being approved and 20 vessels ordered without serious scrutiny of the new design . $ 14 million US was allocated for the construction of these vessels . It was discovered that Stimers had failed to compensate for the armor his revisions added to the original plan and this resulted in excessive stress on the wooden hull frames and a freeboard of only 3 inches . Stimers was removed from the control of the project and Ericsson was called in to undo the damage . He was forced to raise the hulls of the monitors under construction by 22 inches to make them seaworthy . Fate . Therefore , the Navy Department ordered on 24 June 1864 that " Wassuc ' s " deck be raised to provide sufficient freeboard . Upon delivery , the monitor was laid up at the Boston Navy Yard ; and she saw no commissioned service . She was renamed Stromboli on 15 June 1869 , but resumed the name " Wassuc " on 10 August 1869 . " Wassuc " was sold for scrapping on 9 September 1875 .
