USS Monitor Legacy Program: USS Indianola
Presented by John V. Quarstein, Director emeritus of the USS Monitor Center
About the lecture: USS Indianola, a lightly armed casemate ironclad, patrolled the Mississippi below Vicksburg alongside Queen of the West. After Confederate rams captured Indianola, Admiral D.D. Porter launched an audacious deception: a fake ironclad known as Black Terror. The ruse panicked Confederate forces, prompting them to scuttle Indianola and leaving Vicksburg’s defenders with severely reduced naval support.
