CSS Marion One of Five Confederate Ships Sunk by Mines

From Civil War Talk  "Vessels sunk by mines (torpedoes) during ACW."

When you think of ships being sunk by torpedoes during the war, you naturally think most often they were Union ships.  But, this forum entry gave the names of five Confederate ships which also met a similar fate:

CSS Etiwan

CSS Marion

CSS A.H. Schultz

William Allison

and a floating battery in North Carolina on the Roanoke River

--Old B-Runner
