Founder of the "David" a type of torpedo that was thirty feet long with a diameter of five and a half feet at its middle and was ballasted so as to float deeply in the water. Above the water line it was painted a bluish gray. This torpedo it carried was a Lee "Spar" designed for this purpose by the same officer who had invented this type of torpedo for use in attacking the New Ironsides the year before. He also served as a surgeon during the Civil War in the 16th Regiment of South Carolina Militia.
