CSS Pee Dee
We now have a display of artifacts recovered from the sunken CSS Pee Dee. The CSS Pee Dee
was a 150-foot Macon class gunboat that was outfitted with two Brookes rifled cannon
and a Union Dahlgren cannon and launched in January 1865. After being lost for many
years the site and scuttled vessel were found by the CSS Pee Dee Research and Recovery
Team in 1991.
All tours and programs are free! If you would like to bring a group to the
Museum for a tour or program, or if you need additional information please
contact the Museum.
