CSS Vicksburg
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other ships with the same name, see USS Vicksburg.
CSS Vicksburg, sometimes noted as City of Vicksburg, was built in 1857 at New Albany, Indiana, and owned and home ported in New Orleans. With the coming of the war she was evidently seized or bought for use on the river. A report of 19 February 1862 tells of her carrying guns up river to the forts above Memphis.[1]
