Here is a photo which comes from the "Photographic History of the Civil War". Researcher Hank Boyd suggests that this is a torpedo boat captured by Union forces at Savannah, Georgia and sent to St. Helena Island, where she was photographed by Cooley. Do you know anything more about that vessel?
It appears to be different from a typical David class torpedo boat. Bil Ragan suspects it's one of the late Porter designs.
