CSS Virginia
The CSS
Virginia was constructed from the partly burned U.S.
steam frigate Merrimack at Gosport
Navy Yard. She entered dock on 30 May 1861 and
left dock and attacked the Federal squadron in
Hampton Roads on 8 March 1862, engaged the Monitor
on 9 March 1862. When the Navy Yard was evacuated by
the Confederate forces, the VIRGINIA was found to be
too deep for navigation in the James River and to
avoid capture was destroyed by her own crew off Craney
Island 11 May 1862. She was raised 30 May 1876 and
broken up.
