Quarstein\, director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center\nAdvance registration is required. \n\nJoin us for a virtual lecture with author and historian John V. Quarstein\, director emeritus of the USS监控Center. Quarstein will give a presentation on the Civil War naval battle between the Confederate ram CSS Atlanta and the Passaic-class ironclad monitors USS Weehawken and USS Nahant. \n\nAbout the lecture:\nWhen the British-built blockade-runner Fingal could not escape from Savannah\, Georgia\, in 1862\, the Confederates transformed the iron-hulled vessel into the ironclad CSS Atlanta. The Atlanta was equipped with four Brooke rifles\, a 20-foot ram\, and a spar torpedo. Many Southerners believed that this ram could be a match for any Union monitor. When the test came on June 17\, 1863\, in Wassaw Sound\, Georgia\, Atlanta was captured by two Passaic-class monitors\, Weehawken and Nahant\, in a brief encounter. The captured ironclad was repaired and commissioned as USS Atlanta\, serving in the James River against its former Confederate owners. The ram was eventually sold to Haiti\, but sank en route to the Caribbean Sea.\n\n\nCivil War Lecture: Battle of Wassaw Sound\, Georgia\nJune 18\, 2021 • 12 p.m. (ET)\n \n\nImage credit: The capture of CSS Atlanta (at left) by USS Weehawken\, in Wassaw Sound\, Georgia\, 17 June 1863.
