The State of North Carolina is home to two recreated models of Confederate ironclads, sister ships CSS Albemarle and CSS Neuse II. The Neuse is a full-sized model but on land.
The replica CSS Albemarle is a 3/8 scale, 63-foot ship that is able to move under its own power and is anchored at Port O' Plymouth Museum in Plymouth. (The Neuse is at Kinston along with the remains of the hull of the original.)
The new Albemarle was built in 2002 and is self-powered.
Each year it is taken out during the Living History Weekend held the last weekend in every April.
