With a unique prewar history as a snagboat and James B. Eads’ noted catamaran salvage vessel, the Benton survived a tumultuous government acquisition process and conversion to become flagship of the Union’s Civil War Western river navy. This profile of the warship reveals little known details of both her prewar and wartime career.
