Merrimac Plans Revealed by Col. Brooke The Confederate Ironclad's design progress discussed
A 1891 pamphlet by Col. John M. Brooke recounts early 1861 design ideas for the ironclad Merrimac. Secretary Mallory urged a shielded hull with submerged ends and a ship-timber superstructure, with Porter and Williamson later aiding crafting. Notes include a formal plan submission and contemporary letters describing dramatic debates and expectations.
