I'm reading about the Confederate raider CSS Shenandoah. The book refers to the Shenandoah having a lifting propeller. The book refers to moving the prop to the side when under sail.
I've tried to find more info but I've found nothing on the net. Can anyone explain how it worked and where I might find more information?
The book also refers to a copper clad bottom. I would think the purpose was the same as todays copper bottom paints.
