Impressive life sized walk thru exhibits include a Union Ship of the day and a Confederate Ironclad and dock area. Numerous painting, artifacts, flags, and photographs make this museum a worthy excursion for those wishing to see a bit of 19th century Americana.

The Port Collumbus Civil War naval Center is on Victory Drive in downtown Columbus, Ga. there are replicas of all kinds of ships and so forth here.

It was pretty much a self-guided tour of the museum. they had real-life replicas of ships and iron clads. there was a movie of what it was like to work, sleep and live on an ironclad. it also highlighted the roll that Georgia played in the War.
