The tinclads mixed it up with ironclad casement gunboats (above) and mortar-carrying wooden sloops and schooners on the rivers, while bizarre European-built ironclad rams dodged Union steam frigates on the high seas. The Confederacy struggled against Union technological and industrial supremacy with cleverness and courage, but was progressively crushed by Union numbers and dollars.

Unprotected or lightly armored vessels are seen lashed to the armorclad
