Description

SIDE BY SIDE IN THE JAMES RIVER just off Newport News are the carcasses of two proud ships that once fought on opposite sides. And soon we may be able to take the measure of their gallantry from archaeological treasures they've yielded. If funding can be found, the Hampton Roads Naval Museum will exhibit artifacts from the Cumberland, one of the Union ships sunk by the ironclad Virginia (formerly Merrimack); and the Florida, a notorious Confederate raider that was rather suspiciously rammed and sunk.
