My reenacting unit had Artillery school there in 08 and we got to fire that Brooks gun on the banks of the Chattahoochee. It made the trees on the other side sway just firing a blank round! Awesome experience at a great museum. Highly recommended!
I visited the National Civil War Naval Museum several year ago and was blown away by the amount of Confederate Riparian Navy history it has on display. My second great grandfather Benjamin Gordon Smith and his brother Peter Evans Smith were instrumental in the construction of the CSS Albermarle shown in your video at :22 seconds, aka "The Cornfield Ironfield". At the time I had no idea a CSS Albermarle exhibit would be featured and was most pleasantly surprised. I highly recommended the museum. For in-depth details of its construction and battles read the book "Ironclad of the Roanoke" Robert G Elliott.
Love it, I was at Leesylvania yesterday and saw the Freestone point earthworks where US Navy ships engaged in a brief battle with the defenses. The naval part of the war is so often overlooked!
It is so neat that you have a Confederate in the Union war vessels etc! I love these history specifics and having the Confederate Navy and the union Navy with all their different boats blockaders Ironside etc! Thanks to see it really happened with that in Columbus Georgia.
Errol Flynn in a ACW Naval movie, fort Fisher yes a Warner Bros film, battle of the cape barriers,w Alan Hale Sr, Ronald Reagan others infamous actors, including Olivia de Havilland and or Brenda Marshall..w basil rathbone as a Confederate Gen, WOW, this would be a interesting film in another time space, great one Kris w potc references 🥇🇺🇸
I didn't know about this one. I will go by when I visit Columbus again. I have been to Kinston NC; they have the CSS Nuese. Two of them in fact. One is the original and the other is a replica, that you can go aboard. It gives you an idea of how small the quarters were. There is also a great museum close to Norfolk, VA for the Moniter and the Merrimack. Both are very good.
@@rhardee8 I live about an hour away. But the Montier and the Merrimack in VA is really cool. About 20 yrs ago there was a hurricane, it sunk the Montier and Merrimack replicas. They were about 2/3 the size and would fight each other to reenact their battle.
The union marine corp was decimated when a very very large part of it went Confederate Marines in 1861 So bad was it that congress was going to disband the corp twice during the War.
When I was stationed at Knox, the sound of 155 Howitzers was like a big thunder storm. I often tell people that firing blanks is anemic compared to the real thing!
Excellent presentation, but Mr. Barrett needs to know the difference between "Calvary" which was the mountain Christ died upon, and "Cavalry", which comes from the word Latin word caval meaning horse. (Think of the Spanish word caballo) Cavalry soldiers were obviously horse soldiers, hence the name.
I think you mispronounced Benning. As a former inmate of the infantry training center, I assure you that you did. I remember that museum. I believe it had Confederate in the name. Pc in a channel that does this type of content.
When I first saw the white jacket I thought it must have been a chefs. Chris asked a question that the employee did not know the answer to. Bet I will be able to google it and get the answer.
I will never call the Fort anything but Fort Benning and the museum The Confederate Naval Museum. I am sorry but I just cannot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Barry, Here’s some facts. The South lost the Civil War. Wars have consequences. Hundreds of thousands died supporting the stupid idea of slavery. Lastly, I was in the Military service with some great Southern boys. You can’t find more patriotic Americans than those who I came to know. I was truly impressed and felt it an honor to serve with them. Like Abraham Lincoln said during his 2nd inaugural address words to the effect: Let us bind the wounds…
@@williamwest5827 how do you feel about the Vietnam war? Were mistakes made? I guess i don't really understand your point. What If the Vietnamese population of our country didn't approve of renaming the fort for someone who killed many of their family members.
Love the opportunity to review artifacts that are not normally on display!

Thank you Kris White and Garry for this tour of the Naval Civil War Museum. In Georgia. 💯👊👍💕
Been there when I was at Ft Benning many years ago. Great place.
I went there when my son went through basic training at fort benning, I really enjoyed the visit!

Good choices of artifacts to review---thanks Kris and Garry!
Well, another bucket list visit spot thanks to the ABT bringing this to us viewers. Thanks

Perfect timing. I'm putting a CS Marine unit together. Hopefully we'll make the event this museum holds next year
Thank you so much, they have great artifacts!

I have been to the CSS Neuse several times. It is very interesting. I live only 20 miles from Kinston,NC. 😊

0:33 The guy on the left was me as a kid waiting for the teacher to finish talking to another student so I could ask to go to the bathroom.

😂
That cannon is incredibly interesting! Thank you!
Thanks Garry and Kris, really enjoyed your video. I can’t wait for the next one. 😎👍
I had no idea that this place existed! I live over by Charleston SC and will definitely visit. Great Video!
Great vid. I want to go there! And I would love to talk to these curators and historians. I think I would spend days there! Thank you!
My great great grandfather transfered from the confederate army to the confederate navy. He went to the ironclad CSS Savannah in 1863.

This is an interesting museum. I have been there within the past year. The remains if the ironclad are very impressive.
The Andersonville of having sailors and Marines is intriguing
Fun stuff thanx
So close to me in Florida - need to take a road trip.
Will you all be covering the Battle of Columbus?
Nice
Protect history
I was there a week ago!
awesome! firing the gun looks like a "religious" experience!
I finally made it there several months ago.
What is the screw type implement on the rear on the cannon for?...

Fort benning lives on,it will always be fort Benning
Surgeon John Taylor Lock was captured and witnessed the burial of Shaw and his men, the mass burial grave, interesting..? And later exchanged?

Been there
If i wasnt busy surviving a murder attempt while in Columbus georgia i would have visited.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It's not called Fort Moore. You know it, I know it. Everyone knows it.
Fort Benning....
Breaks my heart to hear a Civil War historian have to refer to Fort Benning as Fort Moore.
It shouldn't.
@@herecomesaregular8418 It does.
⚓️
experts saying "calvary".. ??
When I first saw the white jacket I thought it must have been a chefs. Chris asked a question that the employee did not know the answer to. Bet I will be able to google it and get the answer.
They are called curators and not historians. Reminds me of PH.d's who know more and more about less and less.
I will never call the Fort anything but Fort Benning and the museum The Confederate Naval Museum. I am sorry but I just cannot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Same..I was stationed at Fort Benning in 1987
Dont be sorry. We mustn't let them tear down our history
Thats not to say that LtGen Moore isn't worthy btw

@8:15 Garry's dingaling.
Take a shot every time the docent means to say cavalry, but says Calvary instead.
