double ender gunboat question

[corn-fed-erate]

Kind of an odd question, I know. Double enders like the Miami, Otsego, and Iosco that were purpose built during the war by US contractors, what did they cost the US government battle ready?

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

The USS Iosco was a Sassacus class "double-ender".

The namesake of that class of gunboat, the USS Sassacus cost $219,954.96
