		Farragut had prepared his fleet well by lashing smaller steamboats to the port-side of his larger warships in case the larger craft ran aground while running the batteries; in addition, he had covered the exposed starboard-sides of his warships, including their boilers, with heavy chains for additional protection.
		The second warship directly behind USS Hartford was not as fortunate; the USS Richmond was mercilessly pounded by the Confederate batteries commanded by Lt.-Colonel DeGournay and possibly angered because the Hartford had successfully passed them.
		The Monongahela suffered two 32-pounders amidships knocked out and an eleven-inch pivot gun as well; her bridge was destroyed, killing 3 sailors in the process.
