       The Confederate ironclad ship "Atlanta" was captured by Union forces and is seen here above.    It represented the last efforts of the Conferedate Army to break the blockade of the Port of Savannah Georgia.    After her surrender, two Union ships escorted her to Hilton Head Island where the survivors were put ashore to become prisoners of war.
