Ironsides Mobility Systems was started 34 years ago by Barry Stigers, who saw a lack of driver-assisted equipment for handicapped drivers in the Washington area.
For the first nine years, Barry made up the entire staff of Ironsides, from answering phones at the front desk to installing wheelchair lifts and ramps by himself.
New Ironsides was repeatedly hit by enemy cannon fire, but was not seriously damaged, unlike several of her consorts.
Another such attack, by CSS David during the night of 5 October 1863, damaged the ironclad, but she was able to remain on station until May 1864, when she went to Philadelphia for repairs and a general overhaul.
New Ironsides was one of dozens of warships that vigorously shelled Fort Fisher, preparing the way for a ground assault that captured the position on 15 January.
