CSS Neuse II

The “C.S.S. Neuse II” is a full-scale reproduction of her namesake, the “Confederate States Ship Neuse” – which served during the War Between the States as an ironclad gunboat stationed in Kinston, North Carolina from March 1864 to March 1865. She rests on the southwest corner of North Herritage Street and West Gordon Street in the Kinston Shipyard. Located only a block from the Neuse River, she sits a scant distance from where her namesake was outfitted with iron plating and moored.
