Trial of the Iron-Clads and Pension Provisions
The preliminary trial of the ironclads at Fort McAllister shows their armor largely unscathed though the Montauk bore heavy fire. Officers report the engagement fair with 227 shots near the channel, and improvements in obstructions promise a smoother Charleston attack. The Pension act of July 1862 expands eligibility to disabled soldiers, widows, children, and dependents, with scale based on disability and rank.
