The U.S.S. Cairo was one of seven ironclad gunboats named in honor of towns
along the upper Mississippi and Ohio rivers. These powerful ironclads were
formidable vessels, each mounting thirteen big guns (cannon). On them rested
in large part, Northern hopes to regain control of the lower Mississippi River
and split the Confederacy in two.
