Welcome aboard!

CSS Georgia was a Confederate ironclad built in Savannah, Georgia. Anchored in Savannah River about 3 miles below the city, she served as a floating battery and was instrumental in keeping Union forces from attempting to take the city by sea. She was scuttled by her crew when General Sherman’s army reached Savannah at the end of its famous “March to the Sea”.


Under Construction!

The Savannah District of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Georgia Ports Authority have initiated investigations of the wreck site. In order to allow for immediate and regular updates about the status of the studies, this web site has been put on line as a “work in progress.” Many of the buttons will not work initially. Visitors are urged to check back regularly. Additions will be made on a weekly, and sometimes daily, basis.
