Bonus:
The USS Monitor
"Because the officers and crew were required to spend most of their time below decks, the Monitor was equipped with a forced-air ventilation system and the world's first below-the-waterline flushing toilets."

This quote backs my above answer, but I wanted to quote this here also, because I will not get that image off my mind the whole day, I think:
"The Monitor's designer, Swedish engineer John Ericsson, had one of the most restlessly inventive minds of the 19th century. He solved the problem by creating a kind of mini-torpedo tube. After a sailor used the toilet, he had to close a near valve, open a far valve, then actuate a pump to drive the waste out. The system was fiendishly tricky to use. One sailor turned the valves in the wrong sequence and was blown off the seat by a powerful jet of seawater."

Braxton Bragg.

Edit - Sorry, hiram_maine, it isn't Bragg.

Welcome to the trivia game, anyway. Hope you'll come back and play again.

If you haven't done so already, you're invited to stop by the New Recruits Meet & Greet forum and introduce yourself to some more CivilWarTalkers.
