The Remains of the CSS Jackson and USS Hartford | National Civil War Naval Museum

[@magnusdunning6113]

This is a great museum. Columbus is a nice small city. The National Infantry and Armor Museum is second to none.

[@janerkenbrack3373]

When we learn about the Civil War, it is the land battles that get most of the attention. The war tends to be chronicled from battle to battle, Bull Run to Appomattox Courthouse, but the Navy was critical to the defeat of the rebellion. In many ways it was the naval victories that made the difference.

I am revisiting the museum NEXT week on my lengthy vacation! I live just north in Newnan GA (home to the Battle of Brown's Mill). I'm a HUGE amateur enthusiast of ACW naval history as well as an avid player of 'Dawn of Iron: The American Civil War at Sea', a historical miniature wargame.

[@gregdiamond6023]

I’m in Valdosta. I need to get up your way and check out the north Georgia battlefields. I need to get to Columbus and see the museum. I've been to Andersonville Olustee. And most of westerns sites but I'd like to take a summer off and hit DC Maryland and Virginia.

[@thearmoredgeorgian2736]

I live in Newnan too, i've been to browns mill several times. Have you read any book on the battle? Shermans Horsemen is good, and so is the book written by Judge Bryon Matthews.

[@TheSaturnV]

Lucky dawg, I'd love to travel to GA one day to see this place. Do you have a club that gets together for wargame nights? How long do rounds of that game typically last?

[@Jangolfin]

Amazing museum! Everyone should visit and get a better vision of the Navy during the Civil War. On my bucket list surely!

[@terryeustice5399]

Garry great Tour of the Naval Columbus GA. Museum. 🥰 Thanks for sharing! 💯👊👍

[@Engineer1897]

The building of the Confederate States Navy, practically from scratch, was one of the greatest achievements on either side of the War. It deserves recognition that is all it's own

[@1TruNub]

That place is on the bucket list.

[@jangiel3103]

The bucket that gets dumped over the side?

[@claycooley2126]

h Holly is a friend of ours. such a cool place to visit..

[@CarolinaThreeper3534]

Thanks again Gary

[@user-tp1bi6of3v]

Thanks Gary for doing the naval aspect of the civil war. Really enjoyed the tour and really want to go see it someday.

[@mickaderholt3534]

I've been twice, the last time about 5 years ago. It's one of the best.

[@TheNewBowunter]

Wow..its so big!

[@horizon42q]

Excellent, good information

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

Rafeal Semmes was a terror in the Atlantic as a blockade runner and privateer. The CSS Alabama was well handled by him.

[@michaelsnyder3871]

Until USS Kearsarge sank the Alabama right from under him.

[@MorganOtt-ne1qj]

@@michaelsnyder3871 True, but he escaped many close calls. Odds were always against him from the start. Interesting tactics were his own design.

[@michaelamanek8908]

The Hartford’s bell sits today in Downtown Hartford on Constitution Plaza

[@garys.4789]

Great tour Garry, i’ll put this place on my bucket list 😎👍

[@MicC-yx5th]

We visited last year it was an awesome day trip from where we live in Alabama.

[@daveblackburn5393]

Nice video very well done. Thanks for sharing. Keep up the fantastic videos and work. Respectfully herr Dave blackburn

[@sixxfreak58]

Could someone provide the correct spelling of the young powder monkey's name mentioned at ~ 15:00. It sounds like Aspin Walfour.

[@SinCitySharksfan702]

I need to get down to Georgia that’s awesome

[@annmcgehee1728]

Awesome video, thank you!!

[@TheGravitywerks]

The South trying to catch up,.... like the submarine, electronically detonated torpedoes, land mines, etc....ok. Been there, great museum!

[@kevinking8170]

My Great Great Grandfather , Richard B Newnham served in the Union Navy during the Civil War. He came to America in 1861 from England where he had been a police superintendent. Joined the navy in 1862, serving until the end of the war. Post war settled in Saugatuck, Michigan. Brought his family over from England except two adult daughters, one of whom was my Great Grandmother. He remained in Saugatuck until his death in 1908. Can anyone tell me how to obtain his service record, if this is possible. Kevin King, Bearsted, Kent, England.

Happy 410k ABT

[@chrisgreig5628]

WOW !!! Truly Cool

[@2ezee2011]

gotta find a way to go here.

[@paulyost6849]

Cool if I ever get to Georgia

[@Bailbondello]

So it was " way down yonder in the Chattahoochee?"😂😂😂😂

[@TheSaturnV]

"Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me..." I was hearing that song the entire time

[@samparkerSAM]

Does the Museum have recommendations on finding Union Navy records? My relative served in the capture of New Orleans and other campaigns. I would like to find out more if possible.

[@Bartskarts]

57 thousand views and only 1 and a half thousand likes?..... Y'all viewers need to step up!

[@solarusthelonghaulerrailfa3226]

Last time I’ve went by there noticed that some of your outdoor displays are gone

[@redbonechkn]

Oh you're at the confederate naval museum in Columbus GA really close to Fort Benning 🫡

[@jacq135]

In the midst 1970s my parents found a piece of decayed wood what must have been a piece of mast covered under sand on the beach of Cherbourg on that piece of wood there was a very heavy iron or steel ring with a big oval ring forged on it and three eyeleds also forged on it. Also in the remains of that piece of mast were four forged iron so called 'dognails' presumably made in the USA in the beginning of the 19th century according to the Dutch maritime museum. So it must have came from an 19th century American ship I believe it came from the 'CSS Alabama' wich lost her masts during the battle with the USS kearsage and the masts washed up on the Cherbourg beach in France...if you have an Instagram page I could get in touch with you about this mysterious mastring

[@gregbiggs5674]

I was asked to do a lecture there a couple years ago and Holly and the whole staff were terriffic!

[@ralphwatten2426]

I'm curious as to how cavalry could capture a large ship like that. Couldn't a gunboat like that defend itself?

[@drbichat5229]

I think the screws are placed reversed

[@mikearmstrong8483]

Pretty sad that a museum has a big nameplate of the "USS Hartford" even though such a ship didn't exist during the Civil War. The designation "United States Ship" was not adopted for American naval vessels until 1907. It was known as just "Hartford", the same as every other Union naval ship was called simply by its name. If you were to tell a crewman his ship was called USS Hartford, he wouldn't know what you were talking about.

[@Engineer1897]

This place is the former Confederate Naval Museum in Columbus, Georgia. It should have remained thus. Political ' correctness ' run amok.

[@michaelamanek8908]

Yup

[@TheSaturnV]

100% Someone wants our history wiped clean.

[@mpojr]

most of the real important industries are in the south now including the energy,everything switched in the last 100 plus years.

[@nuts4ships]

Dude! Switch to decaf!

[@AmericanBattlefieldTrust]

He only drinks decaf

[@sasjhwa]

Many historians and tour guides get this mixed up including this one. Calvary = place Jesus died. Cavalry = mounted soldiers. I love the museum and this presentation but I'm thrown out of what you are saying every time you say the historically incorrect term.

[@TheSaturnV]

Stops me in my tracks when I hear it. Not in the same league, but when customer service folks say "S as in Sam" and "M as in Mary." 😑

[@MBCGRS]

An American correcting the proper spelling of English words I find very amusing for some reason...

[@sasjhwa]

I assume you mean things like color and colour. Americans and British spellings of some words are different. I don't know about in Britain but in the US some people don't know that. They are both correct spellings for their regions though.

[@drbichat5229]

Like weather people that say “strom” and “thunderstrom” all the time

[@16jan1986]

Sry but didnt he die on Golgata

[@user-kn4rf2ly3q]

Jesus, historians can’t even pronounce CAVALRY
