- THE VIRGINIA SINKING THE USS CONGRESS, Confederate Bond,
February 8th, 1865, $100 manuscript, Criswell #141, issued at
Richmond, VA, signed by Robert Tyler [son of ex-President John Tyler].
The Battle of Hampton Roads began on March 8, 1862 when Virginia
sorted. Despite an all-out effort to complete her, the ship still had
workmen on board when she sailed. Supported by Raleigh and Beaufort,
and accompanied by Patrick Henry, Jamestown, and Teaser,
Virginia took on the blockading fleet. The first ship engaged, the
wooden sail-powered USS Cumberland, was sunk after being
rammed. However, in sinking, Cumberland broke off Virginia's
ram. Seeing what happened to Cumberland, the captain of USS Congress
ordered his ship grounded in shallow water. Congress and
Virginia traded fire for an hour, after which the badly-damaged
Congress surrendered. While the surviving crewmen of Congress were
being ferried off the ship, a Union battery on the north shore opened
fire on Virginia. In retaliation, the captain of Virginia ordered to
fire upon the surrendered Congress with red-hot shot, to set her
ablaze. A great vignette of the encounter. Very
