January 15th 1862...River Gunboat U.S.S. Cairo

     The Ironclad River Gunboat U.S.S. Cairo was launched in December 1861 at Mound City,
Illinois, and was commissioned on January 15th 1862. Length: 175 feet  Beam: 51 feet 2 inches,
Draft: 6 feet  Displacement: 512 tons.  Armament consisted of three Army 42 pounder rifles,
three Navy smoothbore 64 pounders, six Navy smoothbore 32 pounders, and one 30 pounder
Parrott. The same year she was commissioned, U.S.S. Cairo had the dubious distinction of
being the first armored vessel, in the history of warfare, to be sunk by an electrically
detonated torpedo...today called a mine. On December 12, 1862 in the Yazoo River,
approximately 10 miles north of Vicksburg Mississippi, the Cairo was struck
by two torpedoes, sinking in less than 12 minutes with no loss of life.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
     After 102 years beneath the muddy waters of the Yazoo River, the Cairo was raised in 1964,
by a group of private citizens who called themselves "Operation Cairo." The Cairo is the
only surviving vessel of her class. Original guns and carriages are mounted on the vessel.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Visitors to the Vicksburg site can walk aboard a reconstructed portion of the gun deck and view
the original engines, boilers, pilothouse and remaining iron. Adjacent to the outdoor vessel
exhibit, the Cairo Museum exhibits smaller items recovered from the boat, such as
sailors' personal possessions, cookware, and weaponry. The USS Cairo is listed
in the National Register of Historic Places.  The Cairo's engines and boilers
were designated a National Historic Mechanical Engineering Landmark
by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers on 15 June 1990.
