Col. James M. Schoonmaker

At the stern of the ship, built with a classic fantail design, were one of its six mooring winches, the tiller attached directly to the head of the rudder post, and the anchor chain locker. Underway, this locker housed the ship's 550-foot anchor chain, made up of 62-pound links, and the chain was used to hoist the ship's 4,100-pound stern anchor. Forward along the port side, down the stairwell from the engine room entrance, was the steam-driven steering gear engine.
