Re: CSS Huntsville and CSS Tuscaloosa

According to the Tuscaloosa News this morning the CSS Tuscaloosa is sitting in silt 12 miles norht of Mobile in Spanish River. It is thought to be in good shape.
An effort here is increasing to have it raised, bring it to Tuscaloosa and display it as a museum. The 120 crew members abandoned it with only a few personal effects in April 1865.
It was launched in February 1863.
It was 152 feet long with a speed of 3 knots.
It had one 6.4-inch cannon on the bow and three 32-pounder guns on each side.
This should be a site to see.
Estimates of $3 million to raise her hopefully will be accomplished with government money, grants and private contributions according to the News.
