The Dunderberg Ironclad

A monstrous iron-clad ship, called the "Dunderberg," was recently launched at New York, in the presence of twenty-five thousand persons, who filled the ship-yard, crowded the housetops, were perched on the rigging of the shipping, and lined the shores on both sides of the East River. Nearly a thousand persons were on board when the stays were knocked away from under the vessel, and she plunged into the water. The ship is three hundred and eighty feet long, and carries eighteen of the heaviest guns. It is probably the most powerful ship in the world.
