C.S.S. Arkansas
The C.S.S. Arkansas, an ironclad built in Yazoo City, met the Union vessels Queen of the West, Tyler and Carondelet on July 15, 1862, on the Yazoo River. Moving into the Mississippi, the Arkansas ran past thirty-nine Union vessels on her way to Vicksburg, inflicting numerous hits on the enemy. The Arkansas was later scuttled to avoid capture.
