  • In this episode, we welcome Andrew Roscoe, a historian and Naval officer, to talk about the use of wooden ships that were in use during the American Civil War. The conversation covers the categorization or metrics used to determine the size of a ship, the various types that saw service, and where they were used. Thank you to the Historic Fort Wayne Coalition for hosting us for this episode at Historic Fort Wayne, Detroit.

    Very good information one of the things we almost never hear about is the blockade part of the war

    Super amazing! Awesome! Thanks for giving us something on the Navy...even if I'm a couple weeks late! There is something really cool and unique about the riverine navy of the Civil War; you just don't often read about river operations in other wars. Please give us more about accessions, training, rates, signaling, rations, weapons, historical operations, etc. Even though I'm an airman, I've long been interested in the Navy, and would love to know what it was like to be a sailor at this really pivotal time in naval history.

    Thank you, I am really looking forward to watching more about Civil War naval warfare and joint operations with the army.

    This was great, I knew nothing about the U.S. Navy.

    Wow, a very fascinating overview on naval technology and strategy/operational philosophy. I think a good topic for a follow-up episode would be the idea of Civil War combat from the perspective of lower rank naval officers, rated seamen, or even the shipboard Marines. What did their war look like and how was that similar or different to the soldiers fighting on land?

    In future naval episodes please address the brown water navy's involvement in both the Shiloh (Pittsburg Landing) and the Vicksburg actions and especially the relationship between Grant and Porter in a time where combined arms operations were not that common and commander personality and chain of command issues existed.

      Also the cooperation between Grant and Foote in the early part of the war! I'd like some clarification about Shiloh; were the ships ironclads or timberclads? I've heard them called both. And how important and effective were they when the Confederates approached Pittsburgh Landing?

    Forts Henry and Donelson.

      Especially Ft. Henry. I've read that it was taken by the Navy before the Army arrived. I wonder if that's true?

    In for the Navy content.. Blockaders, Refugees & Contraband is a good book on the Civil War along Florida's Gulf Coast.. If possible segway into the Marines both US and CSA please.
