CSS Beauregard (1861-1864)

CSS Beauregard, a side-wheel steamer, was employed by the Confederate Navy as a transport and utility vessel on the inland coastal waters of Georgia and South Carolina from at least November 1861. In early December 1864, she helped tow the floating battery Georgia. Later in that month, Beauregard was captured at or near Savannah, Georgia.

This page features our only view of CSS Beauregard.
