Pilot Henry Attenborough
 

Cincinnati Commercial Tribune, Thursday, 4 June 1863, page 2

The gunboat Cincinnati on the 26th went down and opened on the upper water batteries at Vicksburg, but without doing much damage. The rebels replied with tremendous effect, striking the boat several times, the last shot going into her shell room. Being disabled, she went up the river on the bar and in the bend, sunk with two feet water on her boiler deck.

She lost in killing twenty-five seamen and her pilot, Henry Attenborough. His residence is Newport Ky.
