Plymouth, North Carolina - Civil War Ironclad - CSS Albemarle An unusual 63 ft. long replica of the CSS Albemarle can be found floating on the river behind the Plymouth Museum. While the museum has operating hours, the Albemarle is open all the time.
The history of the Albemarle is described on a sign board and you can easily see the thickness of the iron plates that covered the boat. I can only imagine that the full-size boat was quite fearsome! It is moored to a dock with a fishing pier off to the side.
Local boys were fishing there and had their licenses checked by a DNR officer while we watched. On the other side of town is an unexpected lighthouse. It's very picturesque and in good repair. [John Holmes, 10/09/2009]
