She took part in one major action of the war, the Battle of Forts Jackson and St. Philip, and when that ended with disaster for the Confederacy, she was destroyed by her crew. CSS Louisiana was laid down in mid-October 1861 at E.C. Murray's new shipyard just north of New Orleans. Ship has two paddlewheels and two screws, each driven by its own engine.
