During the siege of Vicksburg Admiral Porter made a raft of logs, two fake wheelhouses, log casemates and smokestacks made of barrels.It even had wooden guns. The dummy warship kind of resembled the warship Lafayette. He set this dummy warship adrift in the river opposite Vicksburg and let the current float it past the batteries. Along with an American flag aft and the skull and crossbones on the bow was a slogan of 4 words painted on the wheelhouse. What were those 4 words?
