CSS Muscogee was a Confederate ironclad ram, powered by a steam driven screw and deployed on the Chattahoochee River during the American Civil War. It was built at Columbus, Georgia, and launched in December 1864. In April 1865, the still incomplete CSS Muscogee (or CSS Jackson, as she was also called) was burned on the Chattahoochee River by Union Army forces. Her remains were recovered during the 1960s and placed on exhibit at Columbus.
