The ship was built in 1862 as the fast merchantman Japan. She had a round stern, iron frame, fiddle-bow figurehead, short, thick funnel and full poop. Being an iron hull, she was clearly unsuited to long cruises without drydocking during a period when antifouling under-body coatings were yet unknown. Commander James Dunwoody Bulloch, a key Confederate procurement agent overseas, would have nothing to do with iron bottoms, but Commander Matthew Fontaine Maury settled for Japan because wood (which could be coppered) was being superseded in Great Britain by the new metal; consequently wooden newbuilding contracts were not easy to buy up in British shipyards.
Service history
The Confederate States Government purchased her at Dumbarton, Scotland, in March 1863. On April 1, she departed Greenock, reputedly bound for the East Indies and carrying a crew of fifty who had shipped for a voyage to Singapore. She rendezvoused with the steamer Alar off Ushant, France, and took on guns, ordnance and other stores. On April 9, 1863 the Confederate flag was hoisted and she was placed in commission as CSS Georgia, CommanderWilliam Lewis Maury, CSN, in command. Her orders read to prey against United States shipping wherever found.
The CSSGeorgia, also known as State of Georgia and Ladies' Ram, was built in Savannah, Georgia in 1862 and was designed to be an ironclad warship. The Ladies' Gunboat Association raised $115,000 for her construction.
Commanded by Lieutenant Washington Gwathmey, CSN, the new warship was employed to defend the river channels below Savannah, using her cannons to prevent a Union advance on the city from the sea. When her steam engines turned out to lack sufficient power for offensive use, the Georgia was anchored in the Savannah River as a floating battery, protecting both the city and Fort Jackson. The Georgia had been in service about 20 months, when Sherman's March to the Sea captured Savannah by land on December 21, 1864. Her Confederate crew scuttled the ship to prevent her capture and use against the South. The Georgia is thought never to have fired a shot in combat, although there is a story that she once fired on Union boats that were attempting to approach the city by the river.
From Ironclad to Artifact: The Journey of the CSS Georgia
In 2017, archaeologists raised the last pieces of the unusual Civil War ironclad warship CSS Georgia, which was built with money raised by Georgia's women, and sunk by its own crew to keep it out of enemy hands in December 1864. The forgotten was discovered by accident in 1968 when a dredge struck the wreck, adjacent to Old Fort Jackson.
In this hour-long documentary, filmmaker Michael Jordan, who authored a masters thesis on the Georgia, documents the ship's construction, deployment, and discovery, as well as fifty years of archaeological study and recovery.
This is the official U.S.Army Corps of Engineers documentary on the Georgia, which was raised as part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion (deepening) Project.
