Caption: The C.S.S. Nashville
Additional Description: The Nashville was a 1221-ton side-wheel steamer built in New York. She was converted to blockade runner by the Confederacy in 1861. Later she was rated a "privateer." Her destruction here at Fort McAllister proved Savannah's waterways were no haven, even under the fort's guns.
