Description

At a Civil War Reenactment, I noted on the sailor hat the name USS Mound City. The Battle of St. Charles was a naval engagement and infantry battle during the American Civil War. It was fought on June 17, 1862, between 8 Union ships including the USS Mound City, and several Confederate shore guns. A Confederate gun hit the Mound City's steam drum, causing an explosion which resulted in heavy casualties: 105 of the 175-man crew were killed. The USS Mound City was then towed back to Memphis, Tennessee and repaired.
