| Battle of New Orleans.
During the American Civil war , the Union navy attacked the Confederate defences around New Orleans. The Confederates were commanded by Major General Mansfield Lovell who was in New Orleans. The Union ships encountered the River Defense Fleet and CSS Manassas. While the gunboats were easily dealt with, Manassas attempted to ram USS Pensacola, but missed the ship and continued downstream, but managed to manouver to ram the Union ship USS Brooklyn. The Manassas rammed the Brooklyn but failed to strike a fatal blow as it hit Brooklyns full coal bunkers. The Manassas was downstream of the Union fleet now and was unable to make enough speed against the current to engage the Union ships again. As a result, its captain ran it aground where it was destroyed by Union gun fire. |
