"Steamer Yorktown as she appeared in the Skirmish off Newport News, September 13, 1861."


Engraving published in "Frank Leslie's Illustrated Newspaper", 1861.
Taken over by the Confederacy earlier in the year, Yorktown had been renamed Patrick Henry by September 1861. This depiction is rather inaccurate.
