Charleston Defends Harbor in March 1863 Ironclad Fight
The Charleston action of April 1863 saw Admiral DuPont’s squadron of ironclads clash with Fort Sumter and Confederate batteries. The Weehawken, Montauk, and Nahant led a line of monitors including the New Ironsides, Keokuk, and Catskill in a brutal engagement that damaged several ships and deterred renewed assault. The Keokuk sank after taking heavy fire, while the Weehawken and other vessels sustained multiple hits.
