Avi:
Iron Thunder

Tom is only 13, but after his father is killed while fighting for the Union, he must take on the responsibility of someone much older.  He signs up for work at the Brooklyn Navy yard where men are busy building battleships for the Civil War.  But instead, Tom is sent to a bustling warehouse in another part of the city. There, amidst the roar of furnaces and clanging iron, 100? men are frantically pounding together the strangest ship Tom has ever seen.
