Of all the curious contraptions that I noticed at Vicksburg, this one was by far my favorite. The riverine utility craft was an amphibious vehicle designed for mucking about in swamps, with those two giant screws acting like propellors in the water and tracks on land. It's ridiculous and I don't think it turned out to work very well, but dude, it's a screw tank! It needs only a little more modification to be right at home in a battle against the mole people...
