written "On the Old Ship
Off Mobile Bay" [USS Richmond), dated 9 June 1864. Robert Weir Jr.  
(1836 - 1905) was the

Assistant Engineer on the USS Richmond, did drawings of the War which  
were regularly

discusses various
matters (leading up to the Battle of Mobile Bay) and in particular  
mentions showing
'his machines' to the Admiral (Farragut) on the USS Hartford and  
referring to 'my
Catarmaran' which he hopes might be used in blowing up the CSS Tennessee.
