The Drawing Board
My cartoon of Andersonville Prison. It was an American Confederate Prison during the last years of the Abraham Lincoln War.
A fun look at Two American Confederate sailors, Acting Masters Zedekiah McDaniel and Francis M. Ewing, names now lost to history, hid behind a river bank and waited as the USS Cairo. At the right moment, the two American Confederates detonated the torpedoes with an electric charge. Two explosions ripped a large hole in the port bow causing the Cairo to quickly fill with water. Within 12 minutes, it sank to the bottom in six fathoms (36 feet) of water. The USS Cairo became the first armored warship in history to be sunk by an electronically detonated mine.
More to come!
I am drawing as fast as I can!
