MAY 27TH, 1865: Reporting to secretary Welles that he had visited the CSS Stonewall in Havana, Rear Admiral Stribling wrote: "I .... do not consider her so formidable a vessel as had been represented. In a seaway she would be powerless, and unless her speed was greater than that of her opponent her ram could do no harm."
