CSS Richmond
CSS Richmond, an ironclad ram, was built at Gosport (Norfolk) Navy Yard to the design of John L. Porter with money and scrap iron collected by the citizens of Virginia, whose imagination had been captured by the ironclad CSS Virginia. Consequently she was sometimes referred to as Virginia II, Virginia No. 2 or Young Virginia in the South and as Merrimack No. 2, New Merrimack or Young Merrimack by Union writers, months before the actual CSS Virginia II was ever laid down.

Civil War replica ironclad and launch (1), Plymouth NC
Plymouth NC's Port o' Plymouth Museum hosts an annual weekend of Civil War history. Encampments and reenactments are a highly visible focus of study. In addition, the weekend featured replicas of two Civil War boats -the Ram Albemarle (4/10's scale) and a Union launch- in the Roanoke River. This video does not recreate their encounter, but it does give an idea of how an encounter or battle might have appeared. Remember that the Ram Albemarle is only 40% of the actual size and therefore would not have been as agile in the Roanoke River. As you might assume from the smokestacks, both vessels were steam powered though not functional in these replicas. Of interest, the Ram Albemarle replica here is used in programs produced by The History Channel. For more information: www.livinghistoryweekend.com . Port O' Plymouth Museum, 252-793-1377.
