Louisiana, USS

The USS Louisiana was also known as the powder boat. The ship was loaded with 215 tons of black powder. The mission was for the ship to be set adrift and to run aground next to Fort Fisher and blow up the part of the fort that faced the ocean. How ever the wind blew the ship off course and when she blew up she was no where near the fort causing no damage.
