Doing a little 'googling' can across some info that Ivanhoe had a 'sister' Red Gauntlet that was built by the same company - Scott & Co., Greenock, in the same yard - Cartsdyke East, of the same type - Iron Paddle Steamer, was the same tonnage - 266 grt / 173 nrt, had a yard number one more than Ivanhoe - 107 vs 108, built for the same owner - William Boyle, London, completed the same month - 05/05/1864 vs 23/05/1864, and interestingly enough, was trapped in Mobile the same time frame -Vessel history / Blockade runner /trapped at Mobile AL by Union blockade. /12/4/1865 evacuated via River Tombigbee to Gainsville /6/1865 captured at Gainsville
