USS Kalamazoo (1863)

USS Kalamazoo (1863)

The USS "Kalamazoo" was the lead ship of the "Kalamazoo"-class double-turreted monitors, designed by Benjamin F. Delano. "Kalamazoo" was laid down by the New York Navy Yard in 1863, but work on her was suspended 27 November 1865 following the end of the American Civil War. She was renamed "Colossus" 15 June 1869. Designed to be built at U.S. Navy naval yards, which lacked the facilities to construct metal-ribbed vessels, she was built with improperly seasoned timber, and left exposed to the elements. "Kalamazoo's" hull began to rot while still on the stocks and she was broken up in 1884.
