Here something I thought would interest for everyone.....The Union navy had a Stone Fleet during the Civil War and Bobby Lee thought the use of the Stone fleet an a quote "an abortive expression of the malice and revenge" of the north....
What was the Stone Fleet?
Herman Melville(Moby Dick Fame) wrote a poem about the Stone fleet...
History question the effectiveness of the Stone Fleet...
A link or more to the Stone Fleet....One link has the poem...Other link middle of the page...

The navy also used the same idea on the rivers along the Virginia coast....Was the idea of the Stone Fleet effective?
A few thoughts..??
