The Confederate armored ram Stonewall had a very brief period of service in the Confederate Navy. The only seagoing armored ship commissioned in the Confederate Navy, the Stonewall was built in France, sold to the Danes, returned by the Danes, bought by the Confederacy and surrendered to the U.S. Navy in May 1865 in Havana, all without seeing any action. After the war, the Stonewall was sold to Japan, where she was in service until 1891.
Estimated Value $600 - 700.
