Naval Artifacts of the Union and the Confederacy

When it comes to the American Civil War not many people think of the navies of both the Union and the Confederacy. We had the privilege of being hosted by the National Civil War Naval Museum in Columbus, Georgia, to bring you a special look at several naval artifacts.

The American Battlefield Trust preserves America’s hallowed battlegrounds and educates the public about what happened there and why it matters. We permanently protect these battlefields for future generations as a lasting and tangible memorial to the brave soldiers who fought in the American Revolution, the War of 1812, and the Civil War.
