USS Terror

[lonestarbattleship]

USS TERROR (BM-4) anchored near New York City.

She was "totally rebuilt from the earlier monitor USS AGAMENTICUS, which had shared the TERROR's name—was an iron-hulled, twin-screw, double-turreted monitor of the Amphitrite class; on June 23, 1874 by order of President Ulysses S. Grant's Secretary of Navy George M. Robeson in response to the Virginius Incident laid down (scrapped and rebuilt) at Philadelphia contracted by William Cramp & Sons. Her construction progressed over the next three years until suspended in 1877. Work resumed six years later, and the monitor was launched on March 24, 1883.

Delivered to the Navy in 1887, the still-unfinished warship was taken to the New York Navy Yard for completion. Over the next seven years, she fitted out at a leisurely pace. Terror was finally commissioned at New York City on April 15, 1896."
