Summary
[edit]DescriptionCSS Charleston.jpg |
English: CSS Columbia was iron-clad steam sloop constructed under a contract authorized in the fall of 1862. Her keel was laid down in December of 1862 at Charleston, South Carolina. She commissioned in September 1863, and commanded by Commander Isaac N. Brown. Columbia’s length was 200', her beam was 45’, she drew 14’, and displaced an estimated 1,050 tons. Her armament consisted of two 9” Dahlgren smoothbore guns fore and aft, and four 32-pounder rifled cannon pivot mounted in broadside. Her complement was 120 officers and crew. She was the flagship for the Charleston Squadron, and served alongside CSS Chicora and CSS Palmetto State. Columbia was larger and stronger than her sisters, but was underpowered; her maxim speed was 5-6 knots. She was intentionally fired and abandoned along with her sister ships in Charleston harbor on February 18th, 1865 to prevent capture as the city was evacuated by the Confederates. |
