From the Collections of The Mariners' Museum

A twin-screw, double-turreted ironclad
monitor that was built at the Portsmouth Navy Yard, New Hampshire.
It was launched March 19, 1863 and was refitted in 1864 with
the addition of a "hurricanes deck" that extended between the
two turrets and over the machinery spaces amidships. The Agamenticus
operated off the east coats between Maine and Massachusetts
until she was decommissioned at the Boston Navy Yard on September
30, 1865. On June 15, 1869 she was renamed the Terror.
She was used against the Spanish in 1898 and sold.
