Abstract:

The Confederate gunboat, CSS NEUSE, was scuttled in the Neuse River near Kinston as the Civil War drew to a close in 1865. Local residents raised it in 1963. Allegood discusses early data recorded on the gunboat by Kinston native Bill Rowland and a laser study being performed by the East Carolina University Program in Maritime Studies through a fellowship from the North Carolina Sea Grant Program.
