The McDonough (first picture) was taken while on duty near Hilton Head by a lieutenant of volunteers who possessed one of those rare new instruments, a camera. She was quite thoroughly armored. Under command of Lieutenant-Commander Bacon she was lying in Stono River, February 1, 1863, when the Isaac Smith, going up the river to make a reconnaissance, was entrapped by three concealed Confederate batteries.
