The Historic USS Casco: A Class of Its Own

A black-and-white historical photograph shows a flat, open-decked steamboat on a calm river, with trees lining the distant shore. The boat has a tall smokestack, a small cabin, and several crew members visible on deck. Overlaid text in bold, sans-serif font reads 'the boat is a submarine,' creating a humorous contradiction since the vessel clearly lacks the features of a submarine and appears to be a riverine warship or transport.
