Any of you naval image experts know which ironclad this carte de visite image depicts? It was made by D.P. Barr in Vicksburg per the back mark. He was a Union army photographer. I suppose this was likely made after the fall of Vicksburg at some point.

@redbob is spot on. The USS Benton was built by James Eads from a snag boat and was suppose to be unsinkable.
