THE STORY OF THE

Union Ironclad
USS KEOKUK

"The Keokuk sank off the south end of Morris Island, at half-past eight o’clock the following morning (Apr11 8). Her smoke-stack and turrets are now visible at low water. From her wreck floated ashore a book, a spy-glass, and pieces of furniture bespattered with blood, and small fragments of iron sticking in them. -"
About 9 o'clock the Keokuk, which had been evidently the most damaged in the action, went down about 3½ miles from Fort Sumter and three-fourths of a mile from Morris Island.
 
1/96th Scale

This kit is 19 1/2 " long and features Bluejackets brand metal fittings.  It is also designed as a partially cutaway kit (gun towers only).  Sunk just outside the entrance to Charleston Harbor during a failed Union attack of the city' defenses, this kit is fairly easy to build, and will make a very unusual addition to the Squadrons of Charleston collection.
