  • VOL. XLIII, NO. 9 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 September 2003 Saturday, March 8, 1862, Was an Abysmal Da
    VOL. XLIII, NO. 9 Michigan Regimental Round Table Newsletter—Page 1 September 2003 Saturday, March 8, 1862, was an abysmal day for the Federal navy as the iron-plated Confederate vessel, christened the Virginia but better known as the Merrimack, threatened to destroy the entire Union fleet at Hampton Roads, Virginia. On this day the 3200-ton Merrimack chugged slowly toward the awaiting Federal ships. One Federal officer observed that the oncoming ship “looked like the roof of a very big barn belching forth smoke as from a chimney on fire.” In the melee that followed two Federal ships were grounded and a third, the Cumberland, foolishly stood its ground to take on the Rebel vessel. It was a serious mistake. The Merrimack fired her 7-inch bow gun, the shell wounding several of the Cumberland’s men. Her second shell exploded among a forward gun crew, killing everyone except the powder boy and the gun captain, who lost both arms at the shoulder. Another shell sheared off both legs of a Union sailor. The mortally injured man painfully made his way to a cannon on bloody stumps and fired a blast before he fell back dead from his wounds. A surgeon aboard the Cumberland described the terrible ordeal. “The sanded deck is red and slippery with blood and wounded and the dying….Delirium seizes the crew; they strip to their trousers; tie handkerchiefs around their heads, kick off their shoes; fight and yell like demons.” The Cumberland valiantly fought back, but her shells merely glanced off the Merrimack whose crew had greased the sloped sides with hot pork fat.
