From the outset of the Civil War, Union President Abraham Lincoln implemented a plan to bring the rebellious Confederate states back into the Union. He would use the larger and more powerful Union Navy to cut the Confederacy off from the rest of the world by blockading the Confederacy's coastline on the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, and controlling the Mississippi River Valley with gunboats. Lincoln ordered the blockade as hostilities escalated. In the spring of 1861, land-based Confederate forces were able to seize Norfolk, ...

After the Battle of Hampton Roads, neither ship played much of a subsequent part in the war, and neither survived 1862. Events on land surrounding Hampton Roads forced the Confederates to abandon the Norfolk area. As the evacuation of Norfolk and Portsmouth got under way on May 10, 1862, the officers and crew of Virginia were left with few options. Commander Josiah Tattnall realized that his ship had too much draft to make it up the James River to Richmond, and there was little chance of successfully escaping out of Hampton Roads past the waitin ...
