Boats

The gun armament of the Powhatan was only half of its fighting ability; its small boats were specialized in the art of “cutting” or raiding enemy shore emplacements or attacking enemy vessels.

Typical number of small boats found on paddle wheel ships of war of the period were as follows;

2 22 and 25-ft. cutters, 1 27-ft. whale, 1 18-ft. Gig, 1 14-ft. dinghy, 1 30-ft. steam pinnace, and 2 paddle-box boats. Total- 8 boats.

The Paddle-box boats were specialize boats designed to be carried upside down on top of each paddle wheel box.  Each boat could carry up to 100 men. Wide and shallow drafted, armed with at least a howitzer gun, these boats were perfect for amphibious operations.  The Powhatan was reported to be using her paddle-box boats off of Pensacola Bay in April of 1861.
