CSS Webb
CSS ''Webb'', a 655-ton side-wheel steam ram, was originally built in New York City in 1856 as the civilian steamship ''William H. Webb''. She received a Confederate privateer's commission at New Orleans in May 1861, but was instead employed as a transport until January 1862. Converted to a "cotton clad" ram by the Confederate Army, ''Webb'' thereafter served on the Mississippi and Red Rivers. On February 24, 1863, she participated in the sinking of the Federal ironclad . ''Webb'' was transferred to the Confederate Navy in early 1865.
On April 23–24, 1865, she broke through the Federal blockade at the mouth of the Red River, Louisiana, and made a dramatic run down the Mississippi toward the Gulf of Mexico. After passing New Orleans, she was cornered by United States Navy ships, run ashore and destroyed by her crew.
