In 1864-65, an enlarged version of the torpedo boat David was constructed at Charleston, South Carolina. About 160-feet long, some three times longer than David and the other torpedo boats of her type, this steamship was intended for use as a blockade runner, with a reported capacity of 250-300 cotton bales. She was captured incomplete when Charleston fell to Federal forces in February 1865 and was later taken to Washington, D.C.
