USS Quinsigamond (1864)

USS Quinsigamond (1864)

The USS "Quinsigamond" was a "Kalamazoo"-class double-turreted monitor, designed by Benjamin F. Delano. "Quinsigamond" was laid down by the Boston Navy Yard in 1864, but work on her was suspended 30 November 1865 following the end of the American Civil War. Renamed "Hercules" 15 June 1869, she was again renamed, "Oregon", 10 August the same year. Designed to be built at naval yards, which lacked the facilities to construct metal-ribbed vessels, she was built with improperly seasoned timber, and left exposed to the elements. "Quinsigamond's" hull began to rot while still on the stocks and she was broken up in 1884.
