Design & Construction
Part of a group of six similar but not identical sloops ordered in October 1861, based on the Ossipee class but increased in length to incorporate a third pivot gun. All six sloops had identical machinery designed by Benjamin F. Isherwood. The Lackawannas' hulls were designed by Naval Constructor Benjamin F. Delano under direction from John Lenthall.[1]
