The CSS Georgia 'Raise the Wreck!' Festival on July 25, 2015 in Savannah, Georgia, showing diver activity on the CSS Georgia Civil War ironclad shipwreck and related commentary. Underwater archaeologists and Navy divers are currently documenting and raising portions of this wreck as part of the Savannah Harbor Expansion Project conducted by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The CSS Georgia was constructed in 1862 with funding from the Ladies Gunboat Association and scuttled by Confederate troops in December 1864 in advance of Union Major General William Sherman's taking of Savannah.
