"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.
