There are lots of videos of the Cairo too.

Like this one:

Thank you Ray, very nice video. Hmm, should post it on my blog.

On my last holiday to the USofA the tour diverted a LONG way to, 'Include Vicksberg'.
Only we got there late & were leaving early in the morning. 'Ah well' I thought, not enough
time to do anything like a tour of ACW Vicksberg, then, when the coach pulled out & went
around the corner... there was the USS Cairo !!!!!! I didn't even have time to get a snap
as we went passed. Damn & Blast! I could have WALKED to it, had I have known.
Thanks for your posting.

Sounds to me, like you missed the boat there Pete...

And I didn't even have an Ironclad excuse.

Next rainy day I have to go post some more photos. I visited the Vicksburg siege works and took a guided tour of Champion Hill battlefield from Sid Champion V. In retrospect I didn't take enough photos but do have some.

Nice pictures of the ship.  I will have to keep that in mind if I am nearby.

Seems like we just missed each other. I was there in 2016 too.  Loved walking around the Cairo and thought the display quite remarkable.

I was there in November, a few weeks after the election.
