Photographic War History. The War For The Union. 1861-1865. No. 6277. Smoke-stack of the Rebel Ram “Virginia.” This is the smokestack of the Rebel Ram Virginia, and shows how our batteries peppered the ram when it made its famous raid down the river and attempted to run by our batteries. When Richmond was taken, this smoke-stack was found at the “Rocketts.” The Rebels had taken it out and was repairing the ram when they got orders to evacuate the city. The ram was blown up by them when they left. [Taylor & Huntington stereo card]
