CSS Chicora: an 172' iron-clad ram steamer, was funded by SC State. She was built in the harbor and defended the city until Union troops threatened the city in Feb 1865, when she was burned to prevent capture. See her web pages for the details of her design, construction and service history, including battle narratives.
