Abstract:
The CSS Albemarle's gored smokestack helped bring the Civil War to life for Doward Jones. From this experience at Raleigh's Museum of History, it is the author's hope this part of the state’s history can come to life for generations to come. Today, people can vicariously experience this part of North Carolina’s history in museums such as Port O’ Plymouth.

Abstract:
On May 4, the Confederate ironclad CSS Albemarle engaged seven Union ships in Albemarle Sound. The Albemarle severely damaged two ships and the rest withdrew. The only real damage sustained by the ship was a smokestack riddled with holes. To mark the 150th anniversary of the battle, Wallace Abernathy and Walter White are building a replica of the smokestack which will be attached to the Albemarle's replica now docked in Plymouth.
