What Happened to All the Civil War Ironclads?

- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- The US Navy laid down 76 ironclads, commissioning 42 before May 1, 1865. Likewise, the Confederates planned 59 ironclads; only 24 made it into the water. All these armorclads were unseaworthy and useless to fight against modern and robust European ironclads. Many of these vessels were broken up or left to languish at various navy yards. Nevertheless, several ironclads were sold to nations like France, Haiti. Others were activated for the Spanish-American War. The last monitor, Amphitrite, was sold for scrap in 1952.

The Csn Atlanta was "lost at sea" carrying a large amount of gold for the new Haitian government. One could wonder if it was lost with all that gold on board.
Weird amount of complaining in the comments. Enjoy the lecture or not, but strange whines. "This guy" is actually fun to speak with in person. Doesn't mean i agree 100%.
They had NO FREEBOARD. And there was no learning curve.
Unless the breastwork was armoured and extended to the side of the hull, given that it would soon be riddled by gunfire otherwise, the ships stability was badly comprimised. HMS Devastation showed how it could be done.
The CASCO Class was a disaster. Marine architecture….NOT.
At 9:28 this guy incorrectly refers to the tribes the ships were named after as "Native Americans". These people actually originated in Siberia and there is considerable evidence that they were not the first people in the Americas, thus it is inaccurate to refer to them as "Native Americans".
that has absolutely nothing to do with this lecture and regardless they will always be referred to as Native Americans or Indians simply for the sake of consistency. Technically, if you go back far enough, every race and ethnicity originates from Northern Africa, but saying everyone is native to Africa would be ridiculous and obsolete the term.
The Mianotomah DID NOT sail across the atlantic under her own power. 'During much of the voyage she was towed by Augusta "as a matter of convenience and precaution rather than necessity", although a shortage of coal may have played a role.' -Wiki. This is well documented in the historical record. Sad to see 'flag waving' distort historical fact.
