Civil War Navy

National Civil War Naval Museum:

Home of the best American Civil War Navy collection in the country: Confederate warship, CSS Jackson, and the wreckage of the CSS Chattahoochee. A full scale ship replica of the USS Water Witch, a replica of the USS Hartford, a full scale replica of the USS Monitor’s famous turret. A dockside exhibit recreating Plymouth, NC, with an interior and exterior view of the CSS Albemarle.

Columbus, Georgia is on the Alabama – Georgia state line, which runs down the Chattahoochee River there. The Battle of Columbus is also known as the Battle of Girard, Alabama (now Phenix City, Alabama). The US Cavalry attacked the Confederates from the Alabama side of the river. The scenic Chattahoochee Riverwalk on the Georgia side, has many historical markers interpreting this last battle of the Civil War.

The Chattahoochee Riverwalk is bicycle friendly.

CSS Albemarle

The scene is Plymouth, North Carolina in October, 1864, as we see the famous Confederate Ironclad, CSS Albemarle sitting dockside. The ship is open to view both inside and out; a rare opportunity to get a glimpse inside a unique craft. The Albemarle is a classic Confederate Navy design, with a diamond hull and armored casemate. It was 150 feet long and carried two 6.4 inch Brooke Rifles mounted fore and aft, each able to pivot and shoot out of its three gunports. Take a 360º 3D like tour of the ship below.
