Civil War Naval Museum


Visited the Civil War Naval Museum.  Interesting stuff, but not a large museum.  


 Confederate Iron Clad Ram CSS Jackson.  It was burned and sunk, before seeing any fighting, to prevent it from being captured.

 Cut away of the armor the iron clad had.  2: 2"layers of iron and 18-24" of wood.









 CSS Chattahoochee aft end.  You can see one of the shafts of the propeller

 Model of the Chattahoochee
 Naval flags.
 USS Hartford mock up

 USS Monitor mock up.  Bigger then I expected it to be.
