Link muzzle-loading, turret, etc. The turrets totally lacked roofs, or just armored roofs? There's more details to be found on her sister in various issues of WI, IIRC, which are relevant here. Link to CSS Stonewall. Convert sizes of sail area. How were her engines reused?
Links added. The turrets were unenclosed. I'll see what I can dig up in WI on Stonewall. Groner doesn't say how the engines were reused, and I tried looking through the entries for later vessels in the hopes of finding a mention, but to no avail. Parsecboy (talk) 23:56, 12 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I know what Groener said about the turrets, but I'm very dubious that he's correct about that. They may well have not been armored, but I'm damn well certain that they had a roof of some kind.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 00:41, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
I don't have anything else to go on. Many ships had open barbettes, so it doesn't strike me as all that unlikely. The one picture is too small to tell if the turrets have roofs or not. Parsecboy (talk) 00:52, 13 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
He's probably wrong then. The Sullivan article has the same photo of the ship that's on Commons (but much larger) and it seems pretty clear to me that the turrets had roofs, as there are pieces of equipment mounted on top of them. I'll just remove that line here. Do you happen to know the WI issue that has the Stonewall in it? I looked through the index here and there's no mention of it.

I'd disagree that it can't be used as fair-use, even without a source. In copyright is appreciably the same as unknown copyright status, IMO. I'd suggest adding a photo of her sister if you're not comfortable using the one on Commons with a FUR. Or scan the diagram in from Groener.
