I am looking for some background information on the General Sherman, the ill
fated boat that was destroyed near Pyongyang in 1866.

While there seems to be plenty of documentation to describe the last days of
this boat's life, I am trying to find out something more on its early days.

Where was it built and who built it?
What did it actually look like?
Is there a picture or drawing with specifications?
Did it have another name at one time?
Who insured it and was a claim made?

I would appreciate any information or leads.
