Summary[edit]

Description
English: Steamers at Pittsburg Landing a few days after the battle. Taken fromː Century Monthly Illustrated Magazine. Volume XXXI. New York: The Century Company, November 1885 - April 1886.

Book "Battles and Leaders of the Civil War", New York: The Century Co., 1887, Vol. 1, p. 489. has the caption: "of the six transports, the one farthest up stream, on the right, is the Tycoon, which was dispatched by the Cincinnati Branch of the Sanitary Commission with stores for the wounded. The next steamer is the Tigress, which was General Grant's headquarters boat during the Shiloh campaign. On the opposite side of the river is seen the gun-boat Tyler."

Note: It's alleged on Ancestry.com without references that one of the three boats on the far left is the Fanny Bullitt a sidewheel steamer built in 1854.[1]
