Confederate gunboat Chattahoochee

This is the CSS Chattahoochee, probably the last gunboat - that had sails - built for the Confederacy. It had two of the most advanced Dalghren cannons in the world at the time, and would easily have out-armed anything but ironclads. It saw, like the famous iron-clad General Jackson (which I will post on later) virtually no action in the war due to the eminent fall of the Confederacy. Built at the Confederate shipyard at Columbus, Ga., these 2 ships were likely the most advanced warships in the world at their completion, and could have by themselves greatly changed the outcome of the war, but never made it out of the Appalachicola River into the Gulf of Mexico.
